Chronic Pain Disability Lawyer
Experienced Lawyers for Chronic Pain
Many conditions, such as cardiovascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal disorders, are straightforward to identify and prove through medical examinations. Chronic pain, however, is an enigma that plagues patients, doctors, insurance providers, and employers alike.
Even though this condition is debilitating, insurance companies often deny long-term benefits because chronic pain is difficult to prove. To add insult to injury, people who have chronic pain and no perceivable physical ailment are often met with distrust, which makes it difficult to secure disability benefits.
If you have chronic pain and need disability benefits, we recommend consulting a trusted disability lawyer to improve your chances of winning your claim. At Share Lawyers, we understand the link between chronic pain & disability. We will also help you understand why your disability claim was denied and guide you through the legal process to secure the benefits you deserve.

Chronic Pain & Long Term Disability
Chronic pain is challenging to substantiate with objective metrics, leading to frequent denials of long-term disability claims for chronic pain. This table explains the key aspects that make disability benefits difficult to secure for chronic pain patients:
Chronic Pain & Long Term Disability | ||
Legal Recognition | Under Canadian law, including the Canadian Human Rights Act and provincial codes, chronic pain is recognized as a potential disability, allowing individuals to seek both short term and long term disability benefits. | |
Medical Assessment | A healthcare professional assesses chronic pain and documents how it inhibits one's ability to perform daily activities and work. This assessment is crucial for qualifying for disability benefits. | |
Disability Benefits | Many group and private Disability Insurance plans, including Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits program and Provincial Disability Programs consider chronic pain a disability. However, coverage and acceptable levels can vary significantly between providers and policies. | |
Challenges | One of the biggest challenges in obtaining long term disability for chronic pain is the subjective nature of pain, making it difficult to provide “objective” evidence. This challenge often leads to denials of disability claims, making legal assistance highly advisable. |
When your pain is too severe for you to fulfill your job requirements for extended periods, you should be able to depend on long term disability insurance to fill in the gaps left by your wages. However, a denial from your insurance company does not mean that you will never get your benefits.
