How We Work With You
People are often rejected by disability insurance companies. There can be numerous reasons for denials, for example, not enough medical documentation. Sometimes it is because it is a hard to prove disability such as anxiety, we are asked all the time is anxiety a disability in Ontario? because of the number of claims that are denied. After a denial, people are then given an opportunity to appeal the denial. This is a strategy that the insurance company employs to further delay the payment of benefits. Some appeals go on for years, only to come to the conclusion that the insurance company is not prepared to pay benefits. It is our experience that most appeals are meaningless. It is imperative that once you are denied you must see a Disability Lawyer to review your denial and the reasons behind it. Your Disability Lawyer knows how to overwhelm insurance companies and reverse their denial.
Insurance companies will not take you seriously until you retain a reputable Toronto-area disability lawyer with a proven track record of success – like Himelfarb Proszanski with a 97.5% success rate with disability claims. That’s the HimPro Advantage™.
How it Works
We have numerous Toronto-area experts we employ to provide opinions, enhancing your case against the insurance companies. We have experience dealing with many different companies including Manulife denied claims, Sunlife denied claims and more. We are able to settle cases shortly after filing the lawsuit. Insurance companies simply do not want to fight us. In most cases, we are able to settle the disability claim before examination for discovery and sometimes within a month of the denial.
We also adopt strategies to ensure our clients do not lose their homes or get evicted from their apartments by advancing motions before a judge to ensure the continuation of the payment of disability benefits pending the trial. This is called an injunction and we have a long success record in securing benefits for clients while awaiting trial despite the insurance company’s denial of claim.
Many disability policies require claimants to apply for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits. Most disability plans deduct from the disability benefit any amount you are entitled to receive from Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability. We are experienced in helping our clients apply for and secure Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits, as well as CPP disability appeals. We are also well versed and experienced in the new appeals process at the Social Benefits Tribunal.
