Long-term disability is an issue commonly-faced in Canada.
Many complications may arise when living with a disability, including the loss of a person’s ability to work and earn an income. Ideally, Canadians who have a loss of income because of a disability would receive compensation from their insurance company, but that’s not always the case.
Insurance providers go out of their way to stop disability payments early, or in some cases, they even deny claims altogether. If you or a loved one is suffering from one or more long-term disabilities, seeking legal representation may be the right step for you.
Insurance policies can be challenging to understand and insurance companies wishing to deny a claim can attempt to convince you that you are not entitled to be paid. However, often we are able to challenge the insurance company’s denial successfully and get our client’s the compensation they deserve. Therefore, people living with a disability should seek legal representation from a lawyer to assist with their claim, rather than just accept the insurance company’s decision on their benefits.
When hiring a lawyer, it is common to worry about legal fees. Trianta Law understands the financial pressure that people who are disabled from working face and pursues long-term disability lawsuits under a contingency fee agreement. What this means is that we do not charge you any fees until we are successful in obtaining a settlement or we win your case at trial. Only if we are successful do we charge any legal fee at all. Our fee will be based upon a percentage of the total amount obtained on your behalf. We also offer all potential clients a free consultation.
Contingency fees are beneficial if you’re unsure whether or not you’re entitled to compensation. It is normal for workers not to understand their rights when facing a long-term disability. We know that nobody plans to be in this situation and recommend consulting a professional in this area of the law who will work tirelessly to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Long-term disability Claims:
Long-term disability claims can be filed for a number of reasons including illnesses and personal injuries. Individual cases can vary in terms of complexity due to the financial, emotional, and physical intricacies that are involved.
Types of long-term cases include:
- Serious back injuries that prevent you from working
- Chronic pain that limits your movement
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Different types of cancer and the treatment involved
- Advanced arthritis
- Heart disease and stroke
- Psychological disorders or injuries
- Emotional disorders
