Over the past 35 years, Share Lawyers has spent a lot of time listening to clients who are struggling with a disability, especially when the insurance company has denied their disability claim and said that they are not sick enough to receive benefits. Out of that struggle comes a lot of learning, and we are pleased to share with you some advice that has gotten people in our community through their hardest times.

Ask for help!

"One day at a time don't give up, do the best you can and thank the good lord that you're here another day of prayer and hugs to everyone struggling with disability issues. Help is out there if you need it.” - Shannon

“Continue with therapeutic treatments, continue with stretches short walks have faith in life and pray that all works well for you” - Jameela

Stay as active as you can and keep self-advocating!

“If you don’t use it you lose it. Remain as active as you physically can. Try to be positive. Follow doctors orders and advocate for yourself when necessary” - Jean Paul

“I'd suggest keep advocating for yourself. Don't accept working in crippling pain as a way of life. Use resources available, stay informed and don't hide away. You matter.” - Robert

Contact a law firm that specializes in denied disability claims

“I was misdiagnosed for years in our public health care system, which made my conditions worse, and delayed my treatment. If you don't feel well and our Canadian health system is unable to identify why, get second and third opinions. Once you feel you are diagnosed correctly, If insurance denies you coverage of LTD benefits, contact Share Lawyers, I am really glad I did!” - Kamal

“I would tell them to hire a lawyer at the beginning as you have nothing to lose. I ended up with a bunch of back pay and a big settlement even after the lawyers took their money. Had I done this sooner I would have saved myself a lot of stress and sleepless nights wondering how I was going to feed my family.” - Tabitha
