Disability Claims Lawyers in Ontario

Disability insurance is an important safety net designed to provide financial stability when illness or injury impedes your ability to work. Its purpose is to replace lost income during extended periods of work incapacity so you and your loved ones maintain a semblance of normalcy in turbulent times. 

Unfortunately, the path to accessing these benefits is often fraught with obstacles. Insurance companies, driven by their own interests, may deny claims for various reasons–discrepancies in medical records, perceived insufficient evidence of disability, or policy technicalities. 

When faced with such denials, the way forward is not to retreat but to seek competent legal counsel. Calling a lawyer at McNally Gervan means engaging a dedicated ally who will advocate for your rights and guide you through the complexities of the disability claim process.

If you are uncertain what you are entitled to receive long term disability (LTD) benefits for, we can help review your insurance claim and explain how the different programs interact.

The hardest disability to prove is often one involving chronic pain or mental health conditions because objective findings may be limited despite serious functional restrictions. Insurers examine whether the claimant satisfies the contractual definition of long term disability. When a claim is denied, our experienced disability lawyers can review the insurance company’s decision and advise on the appropriate next steps to help you receive benefits fit for your medical expenses, and any personal injuries or pre existing conditions.
