Our team takes immediate action to review your policy, analyze the insurer’s position, and pursue reinstatement of your benefits or a negotiated settlement.

Long Term Disability Claims Pelz Law Group Handles in Toronto
Many disability policies shift from an own occupation definition to an any occupation standard after two years. Insurers frequently use this transition to terminate benefits.
Pelz Law Group represents clients facing:
• Denied initial long term disability applications
• Terminated benefits after the own occupation period
• Any occupation and employability disputes
• Claims involving chronic pain, mental health conditions, and complex medical diagnoses
• Insurer surveillance and investigations
• Appeals and litigation against private disability insurance providers
Our firm holds insurance companies accountable when they fail to honour their contractual obligations.
Why Insurance Companies Deny or Terminate Disability Benefits
Disability insurers are profit driven organizations. Claims are often denied based on narrow interpretations of policy language or selective medical opinions.
Common reasons benefits are cut off include:
• Allegations you can perform alternative work
• Insurer arranged medical examinations
• Surveillance or social media monitoring
• Disputes over medical documentation
• Reinterpretation of long standing medical evidence
A denial letter is not the final word. Legal action may compel reinstatement or compensation.
Compensation Pelz Law Group Pursues in Long Term Disability Cases
When disability benefits are wrongfully denied or terminated, Pelz Law Group may pursue:
• Reinstatement of monthly disability payments
• Recovery of unpaid past benefits
• Compensation for future entitlement under the policy
• Interest on overdue payments
• Legal costs where appropriate
In some cases, a structured or lump sum settlement may be negotiated to secure long term financial certainty.
Each case is evaluated carefully based on medical evidence, policy terms, and insurer conduct.
Your Legal Rights After a Long Term Disability Denial in Ontario
Long term disability insurance policies are legally binding contracts governed by Ontario law. If your insurer wrongfully denies or terminates your benefits, you have the right to bring a civil claim for breach of contract.
In Ontario, most long term disability lawsuits are subject to a two year limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002. In many cases, that two year clock begins running from the date you receive a clear and unequivocal denial of benefits from the insurer.
Failing to commence a legal claim within that two year period may permanently bar your right to recover compensation.
There are limited exceptions depending on the wording of your policy and the specific facts of your case. Some policies contain contractual limitation clauses that may attempt to shorten the timeline, while other circumstances may affect when the limitation period begins.
Pelz Law Group reviews your denial letter and policy terms immediately to determine the precise limitation deadline and protect your legal rights.
If your benefits have been denied or terminated, acting quickly is critical.

During the entire claim process, Elena and her legal team were very supportive at every step”.

I almost gave up when a friend of mine recommended Elena Pelz. She got back to me right away and instantly made me feel better. Because of Elena’s help I was able to get my life back on track and focus on my treatments. She was able to reach a global settlement with the insurance companies. I couldn’t have asked for a better result. Thanks, Elena”.
