Hear directly from our clients, who were wrongfully denied, how our legal team helped them overcome challenges and get the long term disability benefits they rightfully deserve

Faith's battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome shows how Share Lawyers fought back after her long term disability claim was unfairly denied—and won.

Everyone feels tired sometimes. With busy work and life schedules, it can be easy to overwork. But for those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), this feeling of being fatigued and tired doesn’t go away with a good night’s sleep. This condition is also known as systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID) or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). Sometimes it’s…

Share Lawyers secured long term disability benefits for nurse Jade Gonzales after her insurer initially denied her claim.

41-year-old Jade was a nurse in the emergency department of a major hospital in North Bay. Things at work were stressful - the hours were irregular and she was constantly on her feet. Jade lived alone and was often too exhausted to cook for herself when she was done a shift at the hospital. She relied on take-out and frozen dinners for most meals. Jade h…

Disability claims: Employee benefits

Many full-time employees pay into long term disability benefits through a group benefits package. However, insurance companies often make these benefits difficult to understand or access in order to save money. Group disability cases are usually focused on securing medical evidence to prove the disability to the insurance companies and they contain important time limits that are not always clear. Our lawyers have the experience to assist you at various stages of the disability claim process.

Disability claims: Privately purchased

Many professionals, business owners, freelancers, and consultants pay into private disability benefits. Disability claims made under these policies tend to be highly scrutinized by the insurance company and benefit from early support and legal representation. Our lawyers have the experience to assist you at various stages of the LTD claim process.

Our lawyers have been acknowledged by prestigious organizations for their success in securing disability benefits for clients.

We are proud members of the Law Society of Ontario, the Advocates' Society, the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association of Justice, and the British Columbia Trial Lawyers Association. These recognitions reflect our dedication to fighting for the rights of people facing denied disability claims.

We’re here to support you during
this difficult time

Frequently Asked
Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Long term disability (LTD) insurance replaces a portion of income for those unable to work for a prolonged period due to illness or injury, with benefits typically starting after a 90–180 day waiting period and continuing until recovery, the insurance company stops paying, or retirement age.

Eligibility requires an active LTD policy and medical documentation confirming you cannot perform your own job because of severe and disabling symptoms.

If your claim is denied, immediately contact a disability lawyer for a free consultation. Insurers often deny valid claims for technical reasons, and legal representation greatly improves the chances of a successful settlement.

A typical claim involves applying after disability begins, waiting for the insurer’s decision, complying with requests for information, and—ideally—receiving payments until you recover, reach retirement age, or the insurer stops paying.

After the Change of Definition (often at 24 months), benefits continue only if you cannot do any job suited to your skills, education, or experience. Insurers frequently challenge claims at this stage, but we are highly successful in fighting these disputes.

Share Lawyers supports clients during the claims process by gathering medical evidence, managing insurer negotiations, guiding legal strategy, and providing emotional and practical resources—including the Life reBUILDER™ program—all with no fees unless we win.
