To receive statutory accident benefits, you must file a claim within 30 days of the accident. Based on Ontario’s Limitations Act, you have 2 years after the date of the accident to sue someone for property damage or to file a tort claim. A car accident lawyer Ontario at Verkhovets Law can advise you on additional lawsuits. Gathering evidence, police reports, witness statements, and medical opinions takes time—and 2 years passes very quickly.
How long a car accident claim takes to be approved (also called settlement) depends on how complex your case is and how willing the other party, usually an insurance company, is to settle. If your case is a simple one, you may receive money within a year, or less. However, many car accident claims take longer. Catastrophic cases involving spinal cord damage, brain injuries, and paraplegia can take anywhere from 2 to 7 years, and sometimes more. If your case has to go to trial, it may take longer still. Hiring an experienced Toronto car accident lawyer at Verkhovets Law is a good step in speeding up the settlement process.
If your Long-Term Disability claim is denied, you should contact a Long-Term Disability Lawyer, who can support your claim at every stage. Hiring the right lawyer significantly impacts the outcome of your claim.
Long-Term Disability benefits can be received until an individual is well enough to return to work, or until the coverage period ends, usually at the age of 65.
