Disability & Insurance Claim Lawyers Torontofor LTD, SABS, CPP-D, and critical illness denials
Overview
The benefits you paid for that the insurer now refuses to pay
A factory worker on long-term disability for 18 months gets a letter telling her the “any occupation” test has been triggered and her benefits are terminated. A retiree denied SABS attendant care benefits because the insurer's IME doctor wrote a different report than her treating physician. A cancer patient whose critical illness claim is denied because the insurer disputes the policy-defined diagnosis. A construction worker whose CPP-D application is rejected at first review.
These are disability claim disputes — and they are deeply unfair when handled without legal representation. Insurance companies have data-driven denial systems. They know that a substantial percentage of claimants will not contest the denial. They count on it. The result is hundreds of millions of dollars in valid claims that never get paid simply because the claimant did not push back.
VC Lawyers represents Toronto-area clients in LTD, SABS, CPP-D, critical illness, and insurance denial disputes. Most denials are contestable, often successfully. The first 30-minute consultation is free, all cases are handled on contingency (no fee unless we recover), and we work in English, Korean, and several other languages.
Practice areas
Disability and insurance claim categories
Each disability and insurance claim type has its own rules, deadlines, and procedural framework. Our practice covers the full range.
Long-Term Disability (LTD)
Denied or terminated LTD claims under group benefits or individual policies — the “any occupation” transition.
Short-Term Disability (STD)
Initial disability denials and STD-to-LTD transitions across employer group benefits.
CPP Disability
CPP-D applications, reconsiderations, and Tribunal appeals for severe and prolonged conditions.
Critical Illness
Critical illness insurance denials — cancer, stroke, heart attack, and policy-defined condition disputes.
Insurance Denial
Bad-faith claim handling, wrongful denials, and the broader insurance dispute framework.
SABS Benefits
Statutory Accident Benefits — IRBs, medical and rehab, attendant care after motor vehicle accidents.
Non-Earner Benefits (NEB)
$185/week SABS benefits for retirees, students, and stay-at-home parents — the “complete inability” test.
