Understanding LTD Insurance and Its Purpose

Long-term disability insurance is designed to replace lost income for individuals who are unable to work due to a serious health issue. It may be part of your employment benefits or purchased privately.

Conditions that commonly qualify could include:

  • Chronic or progressive medical conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or autoimmune disorders
  • Injuries sustained in accidents, including car crashes and workplace incidents
  • Mental health concerns like severe depression, PTSD, or anxiety disorders
  • Neurological or musculoskeletal impairments that impact mobility or function

Why Legal Support Makes a Difference

Insurance providers don’t always make it easy, as their policies often have deadlines and intricate clauses that can trip up even the most organized claimant. Hiring a Brockville LTD lawyer helps you:

  • Navigate complex eligibility requirements
  • Collect robust medical evidence and expert input
  • Meet every deadline with accurate documentation
  • Consider alternatives such as EI Sickness or CPP Disability if necessary

Van Dyke Law is your Brockville LTD lawyer who will work to gather evidence, navigate the intricacies of insurance companies, and fight denials.

When a Disability Claim Is Denied

Submitting a claim may not always go the way we hope it would. Sometimes, insurance companies may deny them. There are three common reasons for these denials:

Insufficient medical documentation

Insurance companies may argue that your claim lacks enough medical evidence to prove you’re unfit to work.

How We Help: We work directly with healthcare providers to ensure that all supporting materials are complete, thereby strengthening your case.

Disagreements over policy definitions

Policies sometimes set unfairly narrow standards, such as the requirement to work in any job, rather than just one’s own.

How We Help: Our team carefully reviews the language in your plan and challenges insurers’ interpretations that overlook your actual condition. 

Administrative errors or missed timelines

A delay in submitting the claim, and even a minor oversight, can derail a claim.

How We Help: We manage your claim from start to finish, ensuring all steps are completed correctly and on time.

Filing a Strong Appeal in Brockville

If your LTD claim has been rejected, the next step is to appeal. We make sure that this step is done right by:

  1. Examine the reason behind the denial
  2. Obtain any new or missing medical evidence
  3. Draft a clear and forceful appeal
  4. Meet every required deadline

Each appeal is designed to tell your story with the right mix of facts, documentation, and legal knowledge.
