Disability insurance companies may offer an internal appeal process and often it is a waste of time. Insurer’s rarely change their decision through this appeal. A more effective solution is to have a disability lawyer commence a law suit against the insurance company. At Kotak Law we will issue your claim quickly and move your case forward towards a settlement. Remember you are not alone. We can help.
How long you are entitled to receive long term disability benefits depends on the wording of the insurance policy. Most policies provide for disability payments up to age 65 if you meet the definition of total disability. Some policies have shorter benefit periods and a few provide for payments beyond age 65.
Coverage for disability is governed by the insurance policy. In general long term disability policies will provide for payment for any type of illness or sickness that prevents you for performing the essential tasks of your employment and for payment after two years if you are prevented from performing any employment that you are suited to by way of education, training or experience. Some covered ailments include depression, anxiety, chronic pain, heart disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, migraines, IBS, organ failure, strokes, inflammatory disorders and neurological impairments.
Insurance companies often deny short term disability claims. Some reasons insurance companies give are:
- There is insufficient medical evidence.
- Video surveillance shows you doing things you said you couldn’t do.
- Your social media posts show you as active and not showing signs of depression.
At Kotak Law we help clients who have been denied short term disability. We can help. Call us for a free consultation.
A disability lawyer represents people whose disability benefits have been denied or cut off by an insurance company. They will gather medical evidence to establish that a claimant meets the definition of total disability as set out in the insurance contract. They will commence a claim against the disability insurer and obtain a settlement or court order with the instructions of the client.
At Kotak Law our practice focuses on helping clients receive disability benefits when their ability to work has been impaired by anxiety and depression. We obtain records and reports from doctors who have provided treatment and we present evidence in support of the claim in order to secure a just compensation award.
At Kotak Law we only get paid when we settle your case. Fees are calculated as a percentage of what is recovered plus disbursements. There are no hidden fees and everything is clearly set out in a written retainer.

June 17, 2021Kotak just helped me few days ago to successfully close a second case. In the first one, Rajiv Hate, who is a phenomenal lawyer with Kotak helped me to get much more than I expected in a settlement due to an awful motorcycle accident. And now with a LTD case (non-related to the motorcycle accident) Rajiv did it again, he just helped me to settle my case getting a much higher compensation than I initially estimated. The level of professionalism, attention to detail and kindness showcased by all the team at Kotak and by Rajiv in particular have been insuperable and a constant in both cases. Don't waste your time with any other law firm as I did before I contacted Kotak for my first case, call them and request to talk with Rajiv, you won't regret it!!

July 5, 2022Kotak Law dealt with my case with professionalism and care right from the start. Kaity was great as well as the law clerks and everyone in the office that I communicated with over the last year. Thanks for helping me believe that I had a case to begin with and to support me through to a fair settlement.

I would like to thank Kotak Law for all their help with my case. Rajiv Hate handled my case with such great care, I always felt listened to, and cared about. His assistant Charmaine was also a pleasure to work with. What a great team! So pleased with how this case was handled from beginning to end! Thank you for everything!

March 8, 2021When my insurance company refused to cover my LTD, it put myself and my family into a very difficult position. Rajiv Hate and his team guided me through the daunting process and gave me back my dignity as father and provider to my family. Words can not express my gratitude or how much I can recommend him. If you feel your situation is not as it should be, I implore you to at least have a conversation with him as he will be direct, honest, and deliver on any promises he may make.
