What Does Long-Term Disability Insurance Include?

LTD insurance offers financial support when a medical condition prevents you from working for an extended period. These benefits can cover:

  • Critical health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or stroke
  • Mental health concerns, including PTSD, depression, or severe anxiety
  • Ongoing physical issues like spinal injuries or chronic pain
  • Injuries caused by car accidents or workplace incidents

Why Legal Help Matters with LTD Claims

Insurance providers use significant resources to contest claims. Having Van Dyke Law in your corner ensures you’re not facing that battle alone. We assist by:

  • Carefully reviewing your policy to highlight rights, entitlements, and deadlines
  • Collecting strong medical evidence from specialists and doctors
  • Handling all communication and negotiations with your insurer
  • Advising on other programs such as CPP Disability or EI Sickness Benefits

Our legal team handles the details, allowing you to focus on your health and recovery.

LTD Denials and How Van Dyke Law Can Help

Common Reasons for Denied Claims and Our Response

A claim denial doesn’t mean the fight is over. A Napanee LTD lawyer can guide you through appeals and explore alternate benefit options when necessary. Denials often arise due to:

Insufficient Medical Proof

Insurers may claim your documentation doesn’t clearly show why you can’t work.

Our Solution: We work directly with your healthcare team to collect comprehensive records, assessments, and expert opinions.

Narrow Policy Definitions

Some insurance policies demand that you prove you cannot perform any job, not just your previous role.

Our Solution: We examine your policy closely to challenge unfair wording and advocate for a realistic view of your limitations. 

Missed Deadlines or Errors

Strict submission schedules or incomplete paperwork can result in technical rejections.

Our Solution: We manage your paperwork from start to finish, ensuring deadlines and requirements are met without errors.

After a Denial: The Appeals Process in Napanee

Challenging a denial is more than simply resubmitting a form. We take a structured approach in:

  1. Reviewing the insurer’s reasoning in detail
  2. Gathering additional evidence or missing documentation
  3. Preparing a complete and timely appeal
  4. Managing every step of communication with the insurer

Each appeal is customized, well-documented, and time-sensitive to maximize your chance of success.
