Disability Insurance Lawyers | Burn Tucker Lachaîne Ottawa

You had disability coverage and assumed your insurance benefits would be paid if the consequences of a tragic accident, an illness or another disability prevented you from working. You believed this insurance would be there to help you pay your bills and provide support for your family. In these crucial times, having the right legal support ensures insurance companies will honour their commitments.

Was your disability insurance claim denied?

Unfortunately, many long-term disability insurance claims are denied. Other long-term disability claims are paid for a period of time and terminated when the definition of disability changes or for another reason, even though you haven’t recovered. At Burn Tucker Lachaîne, we understand this reality and seek to level the playing field by using our knowledge of insurers and their policies to pursue our clients’ disability benefits.

My personal experience in dealing with Alison at the firm was outstanding. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had in dealing with the insurance company. Alison was always upfront and honest with me about the results we were able to obtain. She worked hard for me and was very aggressive and no nonsense during our mediation meeting. My Ltd carrier made an strong effort to minimize the benifits I was entitled to, but Alison was having none of that. She got the results we were hoping for. I can't thank Alison enough for the help, and respect she gave me throughout the whole process.

Overall, I would score them 10/10 and would not think of using anyone else if in need. Would recommend this to anyone looking for amazing representation. Thank you, all your hard work was certainly worth it.

I recently had a successful conclusion to long and sometimes frustrating case, but thankfully i had been advised to seek the help on Burn Tucker Lachaine P.C as my legal council, where I met Laurie Tucker and the staff from her office.

Colleen Burn handled my lawsuit. When I had questions over the three years of the lawsuit I could always ask Colleen and she always responded to my emails. She also was accommodating and because of my anxiety in cars came to my home for any meetings we needed to have. During mediation Colleen explained each offer and each step as it progressed. In general, I am pleased with how it all settled.
Sincere thanks to Colleen Burn and her team for their outstanding support and handling of my claim.

I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a practical, honest approach, and a personal touch. From a client perspective, this firm exceeds expectations.
I was desperately trying to find a new lawyer as my lawyer from another firm abandoned me only a few weeks before my 2nd knee operation due to an accident. It was Colleen Burns herself who answered my telephone call. She did not rush me but listened patiently as I was in a turmoil. My ordeal started in September 2013 and we were now in October 2017. Throughout the years, there were a few bumpy moments but Colleen is super patient and realistic about cases and what one can expect. Finally on February 7th there was a settlement. After all that time, I can finally put that awful time behind me. So thank you Colleen and your team for having supported me through that miserable experience and come out of it as a winner.
