The support you need
We know things are not easy for you right now. When your disability claim was denied, your insurance company took away the financial support needed for you and your family to survive.

We will make sure you get your disability benefits while providing you with the support you need to take care of your health. When you are suffering you are not at your best, and you need the steady, compassionate advice of experienced Toronto short term disability lawyers to assist you in navigating your way to a fair and equitable resolution of your claim.

Confused about language?
Change of definition
Change of definition refers to a change in the definition of disability from an ”own occupation” definition to an ” any occupation” definition. This transition usually happens at around 24 months of receiving benefits. Most people are eligible for LTD benefits until age 65, and we can help you get the benefits you are entitled to receive.
Independent medical examination
An independent medical examination or “IME” is meant to provide an unbiased, professional medical examination as evidence in legal matters and is conducted by a medical specialist who has never previously offered medical care to the individual.
Pre-existing condition
A pre-existing condition is a medical condition that existed prior to your disability insurance coverage. Whether you have had a medical condition since you were much younger or a more recent condition has developed, a long term disability claim with a pre-existing condition can have a negative impact on your claim.
Surveillance
Surveillance is a standard practice for insurance companies, as their ultimate goal is to deny your claim or terminate your existing benefits. To build a case against you, the insurance company will often check in on you to ensure that you’re not lying or exaggerating your insurance claim.
Evelyn’s Story
Evelyn felt completely lost when she was denied her long term disability benefits. Her insurance company did not believe that she was sick enough to stop working. After hiring us, we took over all communication with her insurance company, which had been causing her a lot of undue stress. Our disability lawyers fought back on Evelyn’s behalf, and won her the benefits that she deserved. In this video, Evelyn and her husband talk to us about their experience with Share Lawyers, and how we were able to win her disability benefits and help increase her confidence again.
