After receiving a serious medical diagnosis, it may be impossible to return to the workplace. Physical injuries, mental health issues, and serious illnesses may prevent workers from performing the regular duties of their jobs. In these cases, people who have acquired serious medical conditions may find themselves torn between prioritizing their health and trying to make ends meet.
In these situations, workers with sufficient insurance coverage may be able to collect disability benefits to help cover necessary expenses. Disability benefits are issued monthly, and are designed to provide workers with a percentage of their regular wages when they are unable to carry out the tasks associated with their jobs because of their medical conditions. Typically, insurance plans across the country replace between 60-70% of an injured or ill employee’s regular earnings.
Disability benefits can be a financial lifeline for people in need. People who pay into their employer’s group insurance plan with adequate disability coverage as well as people who pay monthly premiums for a privately held insurance policy with appropriate coverage may never expect to rely on the benefits their insurance plans provide. But when the costs of medical care start piling up and acquired medical conditions make it impossible to return to work, disability benefits may provide a necessary source of income during a very difficult time in the policyholder’s life.
However, even if an injury, physical illness, or mental health condition legitimately prevents an employee from performing the duties of their job, insurance providers may deny their claims for disability benefits.
A denied benefits claim can be extremely disheartening. In order to apply for benefits, injured or ill people must submit an application with supporting medical evidence, thoroughly substantiating why they are entitled to receive their insurance coverage. However, even after providing evidence that proves their medical condition is real, ongoing, and detrimental to their ability to perform their jobs, insurance companies can still deny an eligible policyholder’s claim for disability benefits.
If your disability benefits claim was unfairly denied by your insurance provider, our Dieppe disability lawyers may be able to review the terms of your policy and advise you of options that may be available to you. If possible, our disability lawyers serving Dieppe may be able to help overturn your insurance provider’s denial by pursuing legal action against them.
Additionally, in Dieppe, insurance companies often decide to prematurely terminate payments to recipients of disability benefits. Insurance providers may make these determinations based on a variety of criteria even, in some cases, the kind of content a recipient shares on social media platforms. If your benefits payments have been terminated unfairly, our disability lawyers serving Dieppe may be able to fight your insurer’s decision on your behalf.
Beginning a legal battle against an insurance company may seem like an impossible– and expensive– task. However, if successful, our disability lawyers serving Dieppe may be able to help you recover damages, including:
- Previously denied benefits payments
- Legal fees
- Damages for mental stress experienced
- Punitive damages
- And possibly more
Plus, our Dieppe disability lawyers do our best to remove financial barriers to our legal services and provide crucial legal assistance to members of the local community, regardless of their financial situation.

long-term disability FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for long-term disability claims
What should I do if my long-term disability claim is denied?
Review the denial letter and your disability policy, note every appeal and legal deadline, and request a complete copy of the insurer’s claim file. Continue receiving appropriate medical care and speak with a long-term disability lawyer before submitting an appeal. The reasons given for the denial will help determine what medical or vocational evidence may be needed.
Can I qualify for LTD benefits if my condition cannot be seen?
Yes. Long-term disability claims may involve depression, anxiety, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other conditions that are not visible. Approval depends on whether reliable medical and functional evidence shows that your symptoms prevent you from performing the work required under your policy’s definition of disability.
Should I appeal the denial directly to the insurance company?
An internal appeal may be appropriate, but it is not always the only—or best—option. Appeals can consume valuable time while a legal limitation period continues to run. Before appealing, a lawyer can review the policy, denial reasons, medical evidence, and deadlines and advise you on the available approaches.
How long do I have to challenge an LTD denial in Nova Scotia?
The deadline may come from the insurance policy, Nova Scotia legislation, or both, and in some cases it may be as short as one year. The starting date can also depend on when benefits were clearly denied or terminated. Do not assume that an internal appeal pauses the limitation period; obtain legal advice promptly after receiving a denial.
How much does it cost to hire a long-term disability lawyer?
The cost of hiring a long-term disability lawyer can depend on the claim and the fee arrangement offered. Preszler Injury Lawyers can review your situation during a free initial consultation and explain the available payment options, possible expenses, and when legal fees would become payable before you decide whether to proceed.
How can a long-term disability lawyer help with my claim?
A long-term disability lawyer can review your policy and denial letter, identify applicable deadlines, gather medical and vocational evidence, and challenge the insurer’s reasons for refusing or terminating benefits. Your lawyer can also advise whether to pursue an internal appeal or legal action and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf.
