Ontario Accident Lawyer
After suffering an injury in an accident, the termination of insurance benefits can leave you without income and without access to medical and rehabilitation therapies for significant periods of time. At Strype Barristers LLP in Toronto, we will work with you to help you regain any benefits terminated by the insurers and make sure that they continue.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers have been able to successfully force insurance companies to reinstate disability benefits for our clients retroactively to the date of denial, with interest. We have also negotiated settlements with insurers to cover the payment of past and future benefits on a cash, lump sum basis.
Disability Benefits Are Often Cut Off After Two Years
After the second anniversary of your disability claim, a number of things will change in regards to your benefits. For two years following your accident, you will qualify for benefits if you are unable to perform your job. After two years, your own disability benefits carrier can cut off your disability payments if they deem you able to perform any job commensurate with your education, training and experience.
This is often contrary to the diagnosis and prognosis of physicians. In order to continue drawing benefits, it is critical to have a complete medical work up done in order to clearly document your ongoing disability and inability to go back to work.
Other Services
We can also assist you with a Canada Pension Plan disability appeal if you have been injured in an accident or are receiving long-term disability benefits. We will represent you at disability hearings and appeal boards, fighting to obtain your rightful benefits.
