Cancer & Post Cancer Treatment Lawyers in Ontario

Receiving a diagnosis of cancer can be devastating. You may have made a claim for disability benefits during your treatment for cancer, but you may also have developed other health issues after your treatment or as a result of treatment, which could prevent you from returning to work.

About Cancer Claims

We understand how difficult it is to receive a cancer diagnosis and to go through cancer treatment. We have assisted many clients with their denied disability claims for various types of cancer. 

The physical, mental, emotional impact of cancer can be exhausting and overwhelming.

The effects of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatment may lead to cognitive, physical, emotional or psychological difficulties resulting in limitations and restrictions and functional difficulties (i.e. chronic pain, lymphedema, anxiety, depression, memory challenges).

What if I'm unable to return to work?

If you are unable to return to work as a result of your symptoms and have access to long-term disability benefits, you may want to remain on long-term disability benefits or submit a new application if required. If your insurance company feels you are ready to return to work, but you feel you are unable to as a result of your symptoms, you should consider contacting a lawyer who practices disability law.

What if my insurance claim is denied?

If your claim for disability benefits has been denied, you can fight your insurer’s decision. Our lawyers have represented many clients who are going through cancer treatment or who are post-treatment but experience complications to successfully resolve their denied short-term and long-term disability claims. We are available to speak with you and answer your questions.
