What Is The Difference Between Long-Term And Short-Term Disability?

As the two names suggest, there is a difference between long-term and short-term disability in the amount of time that you are collecting the disability benefits for. Short-term disability benefits are intended to help cover costs for someone who is experiencing an illness or life event that prevents them from working for a short amount of time, typically between 3-12 months. These benefits can start being collected within a few weeks of the injury and are usually a greater amount than long-term benefits. Long-term disability benefits are designed for people who are dealing with serious health issues and can range anywhere from 2-20 years or right up until retirement age in some cases. Because of the extended nature of these benefits they typically come under far more scrutiny than short-term disability benefits, and the amount that you can expect to receive will be less, usually somewhere between 40-70% of your income. It is highly recommended that people who are dealing with an illness or medical disorder and are in need of LTD (long-term disability) benefits speak to an experienced disability lawyer near them as these types of cases frequently deal with challenges to get approved.

What can Hamilton residents expect from a HIMPRO disability lawyer?

While there are government programs offering disability benefits, their eligibility criteria and coverage can limit access or the amount you are paid.

If you have private insurance disability benefits, they can cover short and long term disability (LTD), but getting your disability claim approved is not guaranteed. Getting a claim denied by your insurance company or being cut-off after some time happens frequently.

Himelfarb Proszanski Hamilton will examine your claim and develop a plan to maximize your chances of receiving your disability benefits.

As your disability lawyer, we will:

  • Work to lessen the stress you and your family are experiencing
  • Analyze your case quickly
  • Move to obtain the appropriate documentation required
  • Issue legal proceedings to get your case settled
  • Protect your employment rights in a case of wrongful dismissal

We can also help you to:

  • Successfully pass the 2-year test for disability of group disability policies
  • Successfully apply for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits
  • Successfully navigate the new appeals process at the Social Benefits Tribunal

Disabilities We Can Assist With In The Claim Process

There are a number of ways that a person could end up suffering a disability, whether that be a workplace injury at one of Hamilton’s big employers like ArcelorMittal Dofasco on Burlington St E., the Stelco factory on Wilcox St., or Hamilton Health Sciences, or possibly from a car accident or other type of injury. Disabilities can sometimes arise from exposure to certain chemicals or materials over time, while others are genetic. Whatever the cause, our team of experienced disability lawyers are here to help.

We can help with the following types of long-term disability cases:

HIMPRO Personal Injury and Long-Term Disability Lawyers has built a team of experts in multiple fields to prove your case against the insurance company.

My mom was involved in an accident impacting her daily life and ability to work. Dan Holland has worked with us during the duration of our case and has been helpful in fighting for her and supporting us, and organizing the things we needed. Our family is incredibly grateful of the outcome Dan was able to obtain for us. I would highly recommend him!

We are so happy that we had David and his team represent us. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Not only is David incredibly skilled and experienced, he is kind and compassionate and it is clear how much he cares for his clients. Megan was also absolutely amazing to work with and was always on top of everything and there to answer any questions we had! Thank you!

I'm so happy I chose David as my lawyer. I spoke to a few lawyers before finding David and I noticed majority of them spoke to me in a way that felt demeaning or that my case wasn't big enough or important enough to take. One phone call with David and my opinion on lawyers changed. He spoke to me as an equal and made me feel as if my case was definitely important and that I deserved to be fairly compensated. The whole process was wonderful. From dealing with David's law clerk Ingrid whom is an amazing and kind woman to his legal assistant Melissa whom is another amazing kind and talented young woman. I was so stressed about this case but from day 1 they helped ease that stress and always answered all my questions promptly and respectfully. I couldn't believe David got me to mediation within 6 months of being cut off my LTD and got me a settlement way beyond my expectations. I can't say enough good things about this law firm but I guarantee you that if you need a lawyer to fight for you David is your guy! . Believe me when I say this is the law firm for anyone dealing with personal injuries especially LTD denial claims. Thank you so much to David, Ingrid and Melissa you truly don't know how much I appreciate all you did for me and how this will help me get back on track with my life. Keep helping others you guys are doing amazing work! I wish you all the best!

I sustained a relatively painful injury, affecting me long term.I wouldn't otherwise had pursued it, as it involved a relatively large corporation, but felt it necessary to do so. However, many lawyers were daunted, with one, who actually referred me to HIMPRO.I was connected with Dan Holland, who reviewed the case, provided with me realistic expectations, sound advice and had a willingness to move forward and represent me.His calm and professional demeanor, brought me to a place of reassurance. His ease in addressing all facets of this process, clearly demonstrated a wealth of experience. There was never any hesitation, when being challenged, and felt my best interest was always in the forefront.This case has since been resolved, to my complete satisfaction.Without reservation, HIMPRO (and Dan Holland, in particular), would be the only firm I would recommend for these type of cases.
