Common Misconceptions about Disability Insurance Law: Pt 2
"It shouldn't take long to settle one of these insurance cases!"
In the first blog in this series, we discussed how “easy” it is to get a settlement of your disability claim. For many clients, the idea of it being easy to get a settlement also means that it should happen very quickly, or “It shouldn’t take long to settle my case!”
Not Easy Convincing Insurance Company
What may seem straightforward to you, is usually anything but. When it comes to convincing an insurance company that they should fork over a settlement to you it isn’t’ so easy. Time is not on your side, which is something we truly understand, but time is definitely on the insurance company’s side as money they don’t have to spend on settling your case can be reinvested into more profitable ventures to return big value to their shareholders.
While we do everything we can to expedite the process, the best results are obtained by putting together all of the necessary information to put your best case forward which takes time. The insurance company is hoping that you’ll give up, go away, or just go back to work, thus proving that they were right all along – that you were not suffering from a disabling medical condition.
The length of time it takes to settle a case differs from one case to the next, but it is rare that a case can be settled without significant gathering of documentation and persuasive evidence that you are deserving of benefits.

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 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
We understand 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 insurance company, 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, we will fight to get you the benefits you are entitled to. Our disability lawyers have helped thousands of Canadians get their long term disability benefits over the past 35 years, and we can help you too.
