COVERAGE FOR DISABILITY

Most people will be entitled to some or all sick days or salary continuation paid by an employer, Employment Insurance (EI) produced by the Government of Canada. In addition, short Term Disability benefits and Long Term Disability benefits are paid by an insurance company under either a group policy arranged by the employer or a private policy previously purchased by a disabled claimant.

Disability payments are often available under group insurance for two years if the claimant cannot execute their employment obligations and beyond two years if they cannot do the duties of any reasonably acceptable occupation. Private disability insurance may follow this pattern, but it may also diverge significantly. Therefore, whether it’s a group disability insurance or a personal disability policy, it’s always good to double-check the policy’s precise terms and conditions since they might differ significantly from this style.

Statutory Accident Benefits and No-Fault Insurance
You are eligible for benefits under no-fault insurance if you were hurt in a motorbike accident, automobile accident, bicycle accident, or as a pedestrian by a vehicle. In such cases, your insurance provider covers your injuries, paying you compensation for medical treatment, lost earnings, and other damages.

Claims for Long-Term Disability
When you or your employer have made monthly contributions to long-term disability (LTD) insurance and cannot work owing to a disability, you are entitled to prompt and complete payment of eligible compensation.
