Denial of Disability Benefits

One advantage of being an employee can be access to short and/or long term disability benefits. Most of us may never need to rely upon these entitlements. When something goes wrong, however, it is important to ensure you and your family are provided with the financial support you need to focus on what matters: your health.

Third party insurance companies are often retained by employers to administer benefit programs and assess the merit of individual claims. Dealing with an insurance company can be onerous, time consuming and stressful.

When you first make a claim for benefits ensure that you:

  1. Remain calm and polite at all times;
  2. Take requests and timelines put to you by your benefits provider seriously; and
  3. Follow your health care provider's advice.

If you find that your short or long term disability benefits have been denied, do not give up. Our disability lawyers regularly help employees appeal from a denial of benefits. We assist individuals by offering representation, and ensuring that the insurance company receives the information it requires, to approve your receipt of benefits.
