QUADRIPLEGIA
$1,950,000
Our client sustained serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident. She advanced claims against her insurance company for income replacement benefits, medical expenses, and cost of care. The claim settled for close to $2 Million dollars.
BIPOLAR DISORDER
$575,000
Our client was a successful business person. When his long term disability claim was denied, he retained Michael Jordan to take legal action against the LTD insurer. Expert medical evidence that was instrumental in resolving the case.
DEPRESSION
$400,000
Our client was unable to work due to debilitating depression and anxiety. The disability insurer denied the claim, but when faced with litigation, a settlement was achieved allowing the client to focus on his recovery.
CANCER
$400,000
Our client was diagnosed with life threatening cancer, which resulted in a severe psychiatric response. The claim was denied based on an exclusion in the policy. The exclusion, however, was poorly drafted and the case quickly settled.
LONG COVID
$275,000
Brain fog, fatigue, and inability to focus and concentrate were the main symptoms. The LTD insurer denied the claim due to lack of "objective medical evidence", even though there was no requirement in the policy to provide objective evidence, and the nature of the impairments were inherently subjective. The case settled after litigation was commenced.
PSYCHOSIS
$270,000
The claim was denied because our client was not participating in appropriate treatment, but his mistaken belief that he did not need treatment was a symptom of his disability. An expert psychiatrist was retained to provide opinion evidence that the failure to participate in treatment was a symptom of the underlying illness. The case quickly settled.
CANCER
$267,000
Our client had surgery to remove the tumour, but was left with severe chronic pain and anxiety. An opinion from an expert oncologist supported disability and a fair settlement soon followed.
VERTIGO AND NAUSEA

The long term disability insurer did not believe our client’s self reported symptoms. During the litigation, extensive medical records and reports were obtained that supported disability.
CHRONIC FATIGUE
$250,000
