Having a disability or illness, or the loss of a loved one, is extremely stressful. The denial of a claim for disability or life insurance benefits only adds to that stress. During my career, I had the rare opportunity of working as in-house counsel for one of Canada’s largest life and disability insurers. In private practice, I have sued insurers on behalf of individuals whose disability and life insurance claims have been denied, and I have acted on behalf of insurers in defending disability and life insurance claims. In short, I understand the process from both sides and possess a unique perspective on how insurers think and operate. While I cannot alleviate the stress and anxiety of your disability or the loss of your loved one, let me help you navigate your way through the process of pursuing your disability or life insurance benefits by shifting the burden of that process from your shoulders on to mine.
