Short/Long Term Disability Claims

When you are unable to work due to a disability or injury, you deserve timely and full payment of available benefits from your short and long-term disability (LTD) insurer. 

In cases where the LTD insurer refuses or delays payment, our legal will help you pursue and obtain payment of your benefit.  At GBLV LLP, our experienced legal team understand how frustrating it is to be denied a benefit that you have been paying premiums towards for years.  Our goal is to assist and guide you through the whole claim process to success at trial or reaching a favourable settlement.

What to do?

 

  • Visit another doctor immediately. Ask for a second opinion.

  • Collect all the evidence you can, including but not limited to; prescriptions, treatments, X-Rays, etc.

  • Call GBLV LLP immediately at 905-232-9222, set your free consultation appointment; clarify all your concerns and doubts.
