When Do You Need a Long-Term Disability Lawyer in Vancouver?
Insurance companies routinely deny, delay, or cut off disability benefits—even when you have a legitimate claim. If this happens, you need an experienced LTD lawyer to fight back.
Common Reasons Insurers Deny LTD Claims:
✅ “Insufficient medical evidence” – Even when doctors confirm your condition, insurers may demand more proof.
✅ “Not disabled enough” – Insurance companies often argue you can still work, even when you can’t.
✅ Surveillance & Private Investigators – Insurers may misinterpret social media posts or everyday activities to justify a denial.
✅ Missed deadlines & paperwork errors – One small mistake can result in a rejection.
✅ Unfair claim reassessments – Even if you were initially approved, insurers can cut off benefits after a review.
⚠️ Handling Your LTD Appeal Alone is Risky
Insurance companies count on you giving up—but you don’t have to fight this battle alone. Tim Louis & Company has over 40 years of experience forcing insurance companies to pay what’s fair.

Long-term disability is a quality-of-life issue that needs proper recognition and care
Anyone who’s ever suffered some form of long-term disability knows that the effects on one’s physical, mental and emotional state can be traumatic. All aspects of one’s personal well-being are affected, especially an individual’s family.
Long-term disability, and with it the loss of work and income, does result in real financial hardship. The distress caused by the denial of long-term disability payments may give you the right to sue for mental distress on top of the long-term disability benefits. Naturally, insurance companies are loathed to pay out on such claims because the costs greatly impact their bottom line.
If you have long-term disability insurance coverage, and if you’re suffering from a debilitating illness or injury, then you deserve compensation. Tim Louis has consistently fought for his clients to ensure they get the long-term disability benefits to which they are legally entitled.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a medical or physical condition that prevents you from continuing to work at your current job, you qualify for long-term disability.
While your long-term disability coverage comes to an end if you lose your job, your long-term disability benefits do not come to an end.
To appeal a long-term disability claim, you need to ask for an application form from your employer. Part of the form requires information in the form of an Attending Physician’s Statement. This gets filled out by the doctor, and depending on the employer’s rules, it is submitted to your employer, who in turn sends it to your insurer, or it goes directly to the insurance company.
Yes, an employer can terminate an employee while on long-term disability. You have grounds for a lawsuit against your employer for termination without cause if the employer has not waited long enough for you to recover and return to work.
What is long enough? It depends on how long you had worked for the employer before the long-term disability claim, as well as your doctor’s diagnosis, prognosis and prediction for when you would be able to return to work.
Whether your employer does or does not have grounds to terminate you, this has no impact whatsoever on your right to continue receiving long-term disability benefits and/or payments from your long-term disability insurance company.
Yes, you are still an employee of your employer while you are on long-term disability, unless your employer has terminated you and you are no longer employed.
