Experienced Disability Insurance Lawyers

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.

Our team represents clients across the country with a wide range of disabilities, including those that are often difficult to prove, such as

  • Mental health conditions
  • Chronic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Post viral syndromes
  • Long Covid
  • Back injuries

Helen Schutt
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.
