Don't know what to expect from an initial consultation with disability lawyers? This blog will outline the most important things to know when you connect with Share Lawyers for a free consultation.

When it comes to pursuing a disability claim, there's no denying that it can be a complicated process. That's why it's crucial to have an experienced disability lawyer on your side. At Share Lawyers, we understand the importance of the initial free meeting with our clients. In this blog post, we've narrowed down three key questions that we're likely to ask you during this consultation in order to fully understand what you're going through. By thoroughly evaluating your situation and gathering all the necessary information, our disability claim lawyers can build a strong case and increase your chances of success.

1. "Do you have disability insurance?"

While the answer to this question may seem rather obvious, it is rarely as straightforward as it seems.

Many people who contact our disability claim lawyers don’t know whether they have disability insurance, and if they do have it they may be unsure about the type of insurance coverage they have.

Here are some details to find out about your disability insurance before your free consultation.

Is your disability coverage:

• Group coverage through your employer?
• Private policy or individual policy that you purchased on your own?

Other important questions to ask:

• How long does the disability coverage last?
• What amount will the insurance company pay if you qualify for the disability benefits?

2. "Where have you been working and for how long?"

There are several details our disability claim lawyers will learn by answering these questions:

• If your disability benefits are available to you through your workplace, how long have you been there and are you unionized?
• If your disability benefits were purchased privately from an insurance agent, how long have you been working in that occupation and what skills or training do you have?

The answers to these straightforward questions are arguably the most important, as they help us see if our disability law firm can take on your case. Though the questions seem simple, the answers will help our team understand key details about your eligibility of you getting money from your insurance company.

It's likely that we'll be able to take on your case. However, if we recognize that we can't help you, we will still lay out all of your options and advise you on the best course of action. Our disability lawyers have been working with Canadians living with disabilities for over 35 years, and have seen it all.

3. "What illness or impairment is preventing you from being able to work?"

This question gets to the crux of how our disability lawyers can help. Unlike the insurance companies, which often deny legitimate claims for disability benefits, we believe that you're being truthful about your medical condition and the severity of your symptoms. Some common follow up questions that will help us fully understand your case are:

• Is your medical problem obviously disabling?
• Are your symptoms severe enough that they prevent you from working?
• Are you currently receiving treatment and are your doctors and healthcare providers supportive of your inability to work?
• How long will your illness continue and when do you anticipate you will be able to return to work?

Being able to speak to these specific questions is key for your initial free consultation. The more information the disability lawyer has, the quicker we can take on your case and start fighting back against the insurance company.

At Share Lawyers, we understand that the process of pursuing a disability claim can be complicated and overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with health problems. That’s why our experienced team of disability lawyers is here to help. During your free consultation with us, our lawyers will ask you key questions about your disability insurance coverage, your medical condition or impairment, and your current work status in order to begin to build a strong case for you.

By gathering all this information upfront at the initial meeting, our disability lawyers will soon know if they will be able to take on your case and help you by fighting back against the insurance company.
