Has Blue Cross Denied Your Disability Claim?

The Canadian Association of Blue Cross Plans (“Blue Cross”) is an association of regional not-for-profit health and travel insurance providers in Canada.  Its headquarters is located in Etobicoke, Ontario.

Blue Cross sells long term and short term disability insurance policies. Many of those disability insurance policies are offered through employers.

Many of our clients at Kotak Law have been surprised and upset when Blue Cross has denied or terminated their disability insurance claim.  Sometimes they are told that there is insufficient medical evidence or that the test for total disability has changed and there is some other job that they can do. They may be told that they haven’t completed the right rehabilitation program.

At Kotak Law our disability insurance lawyers have been successful in suing Blue Cross and securing significant lump sum settlements for our clients who suffer from illnesses such as chronic pain, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fibromyalgia, colitis, IBS, cancer, heart disease, migraines, or even stress alone.
