Many employers pay for short-term disability insurance, and for good reason: Employment and Social Development Canada estimates that more than 4 million people reported a disability in 2012 alone. Injuries can happen, and when you’re trying to recover from those injuries, you shouldn’t have to worry about paying your rent or covering the cost of treatment. Our Toronto short-term disability lawyers are here to help you get the benefits you need, and hold insurance companies accountable after a covered injury takes place.

Requirements for Short-Term Disability Benefits

Often confused with workers’ compensation, you can only qualify for short-term disability benefits if your injury was sustained outside the workplace, or for a reason unrelated to your job. While the specific benefits for short-term disability can differ widely depending on your insurance plan, most will cover up to 70% of your weekly pay over the duration of your recovery. The conditions to receive a payout also vary from plan to plan, but there are a few general terms accepted by most insurers.

Some of the most common requirements for short-term disability insurance benefits include:

  • You have worked at your company for a set amount of time.
  • You’re currently a full-time employee.
  • Your injury seems to qualify as a “short-term” disability.
  • Your coverage will likely only extend for a few months or less.
