Heart disease and stroke are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. These severe health conditions can leave individuals unable to work and facing significant financial and emotional stress.
For those in Toronto grappling with the aftermath of such life-altering events, securing disability benefits can be a complex and daunting process. That is where skilled Toronto disability lawyers, like those at Lecker & Associates, can make a profound difference in your life.
Understanding Heart Disease, Stroke and Disability
Heart disease includes conditions like coronary artery disease, heart attacks and congestive heart failure. Strokes occur when the brain’s blood supply is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients.
Both heart disease and strokes can cause serious physical, cognitive and emotional challenges, significantly affecting a person’s ability to perform daily tasks and maintain employment.
The Challenges of Filing Disability Claims
Filing for disability benefits due to heart disease or stroke can be complicated, requiring detailed documentation and knowledge of medical and legal specifics. Many claims are initially denied due to inadequate medical evidence, pre-existing medication conditions, improper documentation or miscommunication with insurers, which can be discouraging for those already in poor health.
At Lecker & Associates, our Toronto disability lawyers are skilled in handling such claims and understanding the intricacies and impacts of these conditions. We specialize in all aspects of disabilities, but are particularly attuned to the issues of disability presenting or related to work. We present your claim clearly and comprehensively to maximize your chance of approval and allow you to focus on your recovery.
