If you are unable to work for a significant period of time due to illness or injury while you are insured, the long term disability (LTD) benefit provides you with a monthly income replacement. At ALS, we specialize in matters where individuals have been denied their long term disability benefits. It is proven that employees who have had an early and gradual return to work have more of a complete recovery with fewer long term conditions.
You should apply for LTD benefits when your condition prevents you from going to work. You need to submit an application for LTD benefits within a specified time or it will be denied. Please review your policy carefully.
If your LTD benefits have been denied or you require assistance with completing your application contact us today. We still make efforts to assist you even if you’ve been previously denied.Read More

If you are thinking of applying for this benefit or if your benefit has been denied, ALS can help.Read More
Your disability must be severe and prolonged. Medical adjudicators decide if you are eligible for the benefit based on your application and supporting documentation.
Slip and fall injuries are among the most neglected legal issues in Ontario. Many Ontarians are unaware of their legal rights. The manager of an establishment or building has a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment. The potential harm that can occur in these situations should not be underestimated.
Easily preventable slips and falls can leave a victim unable to work or with a permanent injury. At ALS, we can help clients by determining liability, filing claims with third parties, and negotiating settlements in a timely manner. If the need arises, we will represent an injured individual in court. Since there are very strict timelines and regulations with respect to slip and fall claims, individual involved in a slip and fall are encouraged to seek legal advice immediately.Read More
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) can be a very traumatic, debilitating, and stressful experience. If you have been involved in a MVA, Access Legal Services can help. We have several years of experience representing individuals with respect to their accident benefits claims. Our knowledge and expertise of the claims process, combined with our experience dealing with insurance companies, can help you obtain the medical treatment and benefits you need to move on with your life. We work with the most experienced medical experts to ensure that you receive the benefits (and the amount of benefits) you are entitled to. We take care of the claims process so you can focus on your recovery.
If you have been involved in a MVA, you may be entitled to the following benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS):
It is important be aware that your entitlement to several of the above benefits and the amount of benefits that you are entitled is dependent, in part, on the injury classification that your insurance company has given to your claim. Our team can advise you of the monetary limits for minor injury claims, non-minor injury claims, and catastrophic impairment claims, and determine whether or not your insurance company has designated your injuries within the proper classification.
Access Legal Services also represents clients at the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) whose benefits have been improperly denied or stopped by their insurance company. If you feel that your insurance company has improperly denied or stopped your benefits and you wish to appeal this decision, call us today.Read More
