Long-Term Disability Lawyers Canmore

Some people have insurance coverage through their employer’s group plan. Others have policies that they pay for individually. Depending on the terms of these insurance plans, these policyholders may be able to access long-term disability (LTD) benefits if they are diagnosed with a disabling medical condition that prevents them from continuing to work.

These medical conditions need not be strictly physical in order to qualify for LTD benefits. Eligible policyholders suffering from severe mental health disorders might also be able to collect LTD benefits if their condition makes it impossible to perform the duties of their jobs. Indeed, 30% of Canadian disability claims are attributed to mental health conditions.

LTD benefits are intended to replace a portion of a recipient’s regular earnings – typically between 60-70% – which might be subject to a payment cap based on the claimant’s salary. For people who are no longer able to continue carrying out the duties of their occupations, LTD benefits can be life-saving sources of income, providing financial stability for policyholders and their families during an extraordinarily difficult moment in their lives.

Sadly, even if a disabled insurance policyholder should qualify for LTD benefits based on the severity of their medical condition and the preventative impact it has on their ability to work, insurers often make it difficult for qualified claimants to collect the payments they deserve. In fact, insurers often look for reasons to prolong the claims process, delay payments, or deny claims for LTD benefits outright.

Receiving a denial for an LTD benefits claim can be upsetting and overwhelming. The reasons provided for denying a disability claim are often vague and difficult to understand. And, to people unfamiliar with the inner workings of insurance companies, the process of appealing an unfair determination can seem overwhelming.
