How long do I have to file a lawsuit if my long-term disability claim is denied in Ontario?

If your insurance company denies your long-term disability benefits claim, you should immediately talk to a lawyer. Most policies require that you bring your objection to the insurer within 30, 60, or 90 days. 

Policies may require that a lawsuit for denial of benefits be commenced within a year of the denial. The provincial limitations statute that applies to long-term disability insurance claims, however, will typically allow you up to two years to sue the insurer from the denial date. To avoid a problem in this regard, it is best to consult with a lawyer as soon as you are notified by your long-term disability insurer that your benefits claim is denied or is being terminated.
