Denied Your LTD Benefits? Kotak Law Can Help.
Serving Clients Across Ontario • No Win, No Fee • Free Consultation
Why You Need an Ontario Long-Term Disability Lawyer
If your long-term disability (LTD) benefits have been denied, cut off, or terminated, you are not alone. Insurers frequently deny legitimate claims — even when your doctor fully supports that you cannot work.
At Kotak Law, we fight for people across Ontario who are struggling to get the disability benefits they deserve. Our sole focus is representing injured and ill individuals, not insurance companies.
We take on every major insurer, including:
Manulife • Sun Life • Canada Life • Desjardins • Blue Cross • IA Financial • SSQ • Great-West Life
You pay nothing upfront.
No fees unless we win.
Common Reasons LTD Claims Are Denied in Ontario
Insurance companies often deny long-term disability claims for reasons such as:
- “Insufficient medical evidence”
Even when your doctor strongly supports your disability. (When your medical records show issues like chronic pain, fatigue, or depression, even with your doctor’s strong support.)
- Claimant appears “not disabled enough”
Insurers often ignore conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, or fatigue.
- Surveillance or social media monitoring
Misinterpreted or misleading clips used to justify denial.
- Paper file reviews
Insurer “doctors” who never meet you often overrule treating physicians.
- Change of definition (“any occupation”)
Many benefits are cut off at the 24-month mark.
- Internal appeals rarely succeed
Internal appeals only delay — they almost never overturn decisions.
If your LTD claim has been denied or terminated, you have options.
We can help you take legal action immediately under Ontario law.
What We Do for Ontario LTD Clients
Review your denial letter and explain your legal options
Under Ontario law, you may sue the insurer for LTD benefits and additional damages.
We Communicate with the insurer
We deal with adjusters, case managers, and lawyers on your behalf.
Gather the medical evidence needed to win your case
We work with doctors, specialists, psychologists, and vocational experts.
File a lawsuit quickly to avoid delays
Internal appeals stall progress — we take decisive action.
Negotiate aggressively for the maximum compensation
This may include arrears, future benefits, legal costs, and punitive damages in some cases.
