Insurance Denials

You get insurance so you have peace of mind that if something goes wrong, you and your family are protected and provided for. But if your claim is denied and your insurer resists payment -- no matter the reason -- it can be frustrating and sometimes even devastating.

If your claim has been denied, the insurance lawyers at KSW Lawyers can help you file an appeal or a legal claim, and pursue the benefits you paid for in good faith. We’ve represented clients at all levels of court since 1973, and have an outstanding track record of successful results  for our clients.

Life & Disability
Life insurance and disability claim denials hit you at your most vulnerable time -- right after the loss of a loved one, or when your whole life may be radically changing due to an injury. Fortunately, a denied claim isn’t the end. Depending on the terms of your policy, the insurance lawyers at KSW Lawyers can help you fight to protect yourself and your family.
Disability Insurance
Disability insurance (short-term and long-term) can help protect an individual and his/her family from an unexpected illness or accident that leaves a person unable to work and earn an income.

Generally, disability insurance replaces between 60% and 85% of one's regular income. LTD insurance benefits generally begin when the following benefits end:
- short-term disability insurance;
- sick leave benefits from your employer; and
- employee insurance ("EI") benefits.
Long Term Disability Benefits (“LTD”)
Most LTD plans will replace 60% to 70% of an individual's normal income. Each disability plan is different. Some may provide disability benefits for up to 2 years if a person is unable to return to the job he/she had before becoming disabled. After 2 years, a person may continue to receive benefits only if he/she is unable to work at any job.

Unfortunately, a lot of times the insurance company might deny someone’s application for disability benefits, even when it is a legitimate claim. This is where our experienced Disability Lawyers team can jump in and represent your interest, obtain the necessary medical examinations and opinions, and get retroactive and future benefits for you.

The KSW Disability Team takes most of these files on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay anything until you get a settlement!

My lawyer was Fiona and she was phenomenal. She fiercely defended me, had all the difficult conversations with the opposing counsel, she even brought me some small snacks for my stressful day. No matter the reason a legal case it’s not fun enduring a legal matter. But Fiona made it a smooth process and the day ended with me feeling relaxed because I had someone strong represent me. If I didn’t have Fiona I would’ve had received what I did at the end of the legal situation. Thank you so much. Legal fees are fair and appropriate. I highly recommend Fiona and this law firm.

Contacted KSW Lawyers and was put in touch with Jenson Leung. Jenson gave excellent, fair and realistic legal advice with no BS. He was patient and understanding of my concerns and lack of legal knowledge and always took the time to ensure my questions were answered and concerns addressed. I found his advice and conduct incredibly professional, ethical and realistic while representing me during negotiations. I hope in future I have no further need for an employment lawyer, but I have no problem recommending or using Jenson for legal advice or representation if ever required.

I cannot recommend Malachi enough. Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional experiences I faced, and having her by my side made all the difference. From the very beginning, Malachi provided not only exceptional legal guidance but also genuine compassion and support during an incredibly challenging time. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and help me navigate the complex issues involved with patience, professionalism, and expertise. What impressed me most was her ability to remain calm and strategic while advocating strongly on my behalf. She explained every step of the process clearly, helped me make informed decisions, and always made me feel supported and heard. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, I achieved an outcome that felt fair and gave me the sense of justice and closure I needed to move forward with confidence. If you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly committed to her clients, I highly recommend Malachi. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me and is an exemplary family lawyer who is incredibly well-versed.

I had a very positive experience with this firm from start to finish. Aleah Hunt was kind, professional, and attentive during the intake process. When there was an issue with email communication, she took the initiative to follow up and ensure everything was received correctly. Lisa Nguyen was also excellent to work with. She was professional, responsive, and helped coordinate a consultation with ease. I then had a 30-minute consultation with Darren, and I was extremely impressed. He took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, provided clear and practical advice, and never made me feel rushed. I appreciated that the conversation focused on helping me understand my situation and options rather than pressuring me to retain legal services. The firm also followed up afterward to ensure my questions had been addressed and to discuss potential next steps. Overall, I found everyone I dealt with to be professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to others seeking legal guidance.
