Long-Term Disability Lawyers in Picton

When illness or injury stops you from working, long-term disability (LTD) benefits should be there to assist you financially. Unfortunately, for many Picton residents, getting those benefits can quickly become overwhelming. At Van Dyke Law, we use decades of experience with LTD denials to guide, represent, and support clients through every stage of the process.

What Long-Term Disability Insurance Does

Long-term disability coverage is meant to replace income when a severe medical issue prevents you from working for an extended time. This protection can come from employer plans or private policies. Conditions that often qualify include:

  • Dire medical conditions such as cancer, heart problems, or autoimmune diseases
  • Mental health issues like PTSD, severe anxiety, or clinical depression
  • Neurological and musculoskeletal disorders affecting mobility or daily function
  • Injuries from vehicle accidents or workplace incidents

How a Lawyer Can Make a Difference

Insurance policies are filled with deadlines and technical rules that can make applying or appealing difficult. By working with a Picton LTD lawyer, you can gain help to:

  • Understand eligibility rules and policy terms
  • Build a strong medical file with reports and specialist opinions
  • Submit accurate and timely paperwork at every stage
  • Explore options such as CPP Disability or EI Sickness benefits when needed

Our team at Van Dyke Law works to organize your claim, confront insurers, and fight back against denials on your behalf.

Why Disability Claims Get Denied

Unfortunately, some claims are denied even when they are valid. Here are three of the most common reasons and how we respond:

Not Enough Medical Proof

Insurers may say the documentation doesn’t prove your inability to work.

Our Resolution: We collaborate with your medical professionals to make sure every report, test, and note is thorough and complete.

Restrictive Definitions in the Policy

Some policies require proof that you cannot work in any occupation, not just your own.

Our Resolution: We analyze the policy wording and challenge overly narrow standards used to deny your benefits. 

Paperwork Mistakes or Missed Deadlines

Even small errors or delays can be used to dismiss your claim.

Our Resolution: We oversee your claim step by step, making sure that nothing is overlooked and timelines are respected.

The Appeals Process for Denials in Picton

If your LTD claim is denied, appealing is your next step, and it requires careful preparation. We assist by:

  1. Reviewing the insurer’s reason for denial
  2. Gathering new or missing evidence
  3. Drafting a persuasive, complete appeal
  4. Managing all communication with the insurer

We make sure your appeal is well-supported and filed on time to maximize your chances of approval.
