Are you looking for a disability lawyer in Calgary? Share Lawyers’ experienced team can help secure the benefits you’re entitled to.

Long term disability (LTD) benefits are insurance payments that replace part of your income if illness or injury keeps you off work for an extended period, usually after short term disability or EI runs out. In Canada, most LTD policies pay about 60–70% of your pre-disability earnings, often continuing for many years or up to around age 65 if you still meet the policy’s definition of disability.

When an illness or injury prevents you from working for an extended period, your disability benefits are crucial for covering your expenses. At Share Lawyers, we offer caring and dedicated support for long term disability cases in Calgary.

If your claim has been denied or your benefits were cut off, we’re here to help you fight for the benefits you need.

In Calgary, Alberta, long term disability may be payable for many physical and mental conditions if symptoms are severe enough to stop you working. Common examples include chronic back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, heart disease, stroke, COPD, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, diabetes complications, lupus, Crohn’s disease, and serious brain or orthopedic injuries.

To apply for long term disability benefits, first review your policy to confirm coverage and deadlines, then notify your employer or insurer that you’re stopping work due to disability.

Complete the claim forms (employee, employer, and physician statements), attach detailed medical records, and submit everything before the stated time limit, often within 90 days after the waiting period ends.

Disability insurance claims often get denied for paperwork or technical reasons, not just health reasons. Common causes include missing deadlines, not matching the policy’s strict rules, not sending enough medical proof, pre‑existing condition clauses, insurer doctors saying you can still work, or surveillance and social media making it look like you’re more capable than you reported.

If your disability benefits have been denied or terminated, and you're facing financial challenges, our dedicated disability lawyers in Calgary are ready to fight for you so you can focus on your health.
