A note from our long term disability lawyers
Taking a medical leave from work is not an easy decision to make. Concerns about providing for yourself and your family and keeping your job may cause you to want to push through your pain, but this won’t make your problems go away. Stopping work is often the smartest decision for your long term health and well-being, and your disability benefits are there to provide you with financial support until you can return to work.
If you have made the tough decision to stop working and apply for your short term disability or long term disability benefits, you may feel overwhelmed by the process and have questions that your employer and your disability insurance company are not able or willing to answer. Share is There to see you through and answer your questions.
Our disability law firm knows what you have been going through with your insurance company
Our disability law firm understands that things have not been easy for you over the last little while. Your health has been suffering, you are unable to work, and now your disability insurance provider, who was supposed to be there in your time of need, has decided they will not pay your disability benefits or respect your disability claim. These benefits exist to provide you with the financial support you need so that you can focus on your health and rebuilding your life. It is unfortunate that your insurance company has not lived up to its promise. If your disability claim has been denied, our disability law firm will fight to get you the benefits you are entitled to. Our disability lawyers have helped thousands of Canadians get their long term disability claims over the past 35 years, and we can help you too.

If you are unable to work, your disability benefits should be there to provide you with the financial support you need.

When Share Lawyers gets involved, you have an entire team of lawyers that are there to support you and to fight for what is yours.
