Slip & Falls
If you slip, fall, and injure yourself due to the negligent actions of another, the law allows you to sue for compensation. As an example, the landlord of a building has a duty of care to take reasonable steps ensure that the environment they are operating in is safe for all, a duty that applies whether the danger is caused by the activity carried out on the premises or by the condition of the premises.
If you were to slip and fall on a premises as a result of the landlord’s failure to observe due care, and provided you did not willingly assume the risk, you may be entitled to compensation for present and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, care and rehabilitation expenses, out-of-pocket/miscellaneous expenses, loss of income, and loss of future income. The amount of compensation you get depends on the severity of your injuries and how well you present your claim.

LTD Insurance

In case of disability, you simply file a claim with the insurance provider. However, not all LTD claims are honored – denials are common at various stages of the claim. Common reasons for LTD claim denials are refusal to accept disability, misrepresentation, mistakes during the purchase of the premium, being captured on video, photos, or social media/internet searches or being observed engaged in activities that cast aspersions on your disability claim, failure to attend doctors’ appointments and to comply with treatment recommendations, improper filing of the claim, filing outside the statute of limitations, and lack of objective medical evidence to support your disability claim.
