According to data from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability, more than 1 in 5 Canadians over the age of 15 have at least one disability that limits their ability to perform daily routines and activities. It’s also estimated that over 1 in 4 people will be diagnosed with a major disability by the age of 65.
This is why it’s so crucial for employers to provide disabled workers with alternative working solutions in the wake of an injury – and for insurance companies to live up to their end of the bargain. Having a long-term disability can affect far more than just your daily routine. It can take months before you are recovered enough to work full-time in the same field, and you may be facing steep lifetime costs
Here are some of the most common disabilities that may be covered by long-term disability:
When it comes to long-term disability claims, every insurer has different conditions that will need to be met in order for you to receive benefits. Some may also try to avoid giving you the full compensation you need, even when you meet their conditions. No matter your unique situation, our Toronto personal injury lawyers can fight back against insurance companies that are reluctant to pay what you deserve.
