Long-term disability benefits. We buy coverage to protect us and our families when we become injured or sick and cannot work. They are “peace of mind” contracts. This past week there were two legal decisions of note in long-term disability cases. One is a reminder for all claimants to not sit back, when benefits are terminated, and rely on your insurer to do what is right. If the insurer denies or terminates your benefits, you need to get in to see a lawyer who practices in long-term disability law without delay. The second case is a reminder for all insurers who improperly deny or terminate an insured’s long-term disability benefits. I will review both cases below.

When an individual brings a personal injury lawsuit in Ontario, the onus is on them (and their lawyers) to prove their case. In most cases this means that they must prove to the Court that the defendant breached a legal duty that was owed to them, and that the breach of the legal duty caused injury and the incurrence of expenses.

One of the most important skills I have as a lawyer – that of listening and being present – I learned from my ophthalmologist. He and his staff unwittingly made me acutely aware of how to create the illusion of unlimited time.

There is no question that the Canadian healthcare system provides excellent medical care to most people. However, according to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, in our Canadian healthcare system there is a death from preventable patient harm every 13 minutes and 14 seconds. One out of 18 hospital visits result in preventable harm. These incidents generate an additional $2.75 billion in healthcare treatment costs very year.[1]
