Commonly Asked Questions
Here are our most asked questions.
What is long-term disability?
Long-term disability claims arise when you have disability insurance, either through your work or privately, that denies your claim after you have become disabled.
Is there a time limit on when I can sue for long-term disability?
Yes. The Insurance Act, RSA 2000, sets a two-year limitation period that commences two years after the claims arise.
How much is my long-term disability case worth?
Long-term disability cases are several heads of damage that are assessed independently. First, there is the arrears or the past benefits that have not been paid. Next, there are potential future benefits. Finally, if a denial was made in bad faith, there may be extracontractual damages that can include aggravated damages or even punitive damages against the insurance company.
What types of compensation can I claim in a long-term disability case?
You can claim contractual damages for past benefits that should have been paid. In a settlement discussion, you can claim for future benefits that will be paid, but in a trial, you cannot make this claim. Finally, if the denial was in bad faith, you can make an extracontractual claim for aggravated damages and/or punitive damages.
What are the common causes of disability?
The most common causes of disability are related to chronic pain and psychiatric disorders like anxiety or depression. However, there are many causes of disability, including:
- Chronic pain;
- Depression;
- Anxiety;
- Brain injury;
- Stroke;
- Heart attack;
- Cancer;
- Injury;
- COVID;
- Stroke;
- Orthopaedic injury;
- Paralysis;
- And more.
What are my options if my long-term disability claim is denied?
The insurance company will provide you with options to appeal their decision. Keep in mind these appeal processes are usually created by the insurance company and adjudicated by the insurance company. And they do not stop the limitation period from running. Our lawyers will file a lawsuit instead and put the claim into the impartial realm of the court system.
What information is needed to support a long-term disability claim?
Copies of your policy, the denial letter, and your medical records are generally needed to support your long-term disability claim. Our lawyers can work with you to determine what documents exist and how to collect them to make sure nothing is missing.
When should a long-term disability lawyer be contacted?
If you have been denied long-term disability benefits, it is time to contact a lawyer to discuss next steps. Our consultations are always free, and there is no obligation to sign up.
