What other expenses are involved in an LTD claim?

Apart from legal fees, every case requires that the law firm incur certain expenses. Most expenses in an LTD claim are incurred in obtaining necessary information, including medical records, expert assessments, and reports from physicians and other healthcare providers. 

Other expenses will include court filing fees, process serving fees, and mediator fees. At the conclusion of a successful claim, we will seek to recover the above-mentioned expenses, known as ‘disbursements’, from the insurer. You will be responsible for the portion of expenses that are not recoverable from the insurer. Those expenses will be charged against your settlement or judgment. 

If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you will not be charged expenses.
