Disability Law vs. Personal Injury Law - Key Differences and When to Retain a Lawyer

Disability law focuses on securing benefits for individuals who are unable to work due to physical or mental impairments.

It primarily deals with long-term disability (LTD) insurance, short-term disability benefits, and government programs like Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits. A disability lawyer is typically retained when an insurance company denies disability benefits, wrongfully terminates them, or fails to pay adequate compensation. The lawyer assists in filing claims, managing appeals, and pursuing litigation if necessary.

When to Retain a Disability Lawyer

Denied Long-Term Disability (LTD) Benefits

If your LTD claim has been denied, a disability lawyer can help by challenging the denial, gathering medical evidence, and negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you receive the proper compensation.

Terminated Benefits

If your benefits have been terminated even though your disability persists, a lawyer can assist in reinstating benefits.

CPP Disability Benefits

A disability lawyer can assist in applying for or appealing denied CPP Disability Benefits, especially if you're navigating government regulations and medical qualifications.

Mental Health Disabilities

Disability lawyers often handle cases involving psychological or psychiatric conditions that impair a person’s ability to work.
