Gluckstein Lawyers – Birth Injury Expertise
At Gluckstein Lawyers, our team of birth injury lawyers understand the complexities of birth injury cases and are here to support you through every step of the legal process.
If you suspect that your baby has experienced a preventable birth injury and trauma, our team is dedicated to helping you determine the facts and seek the justice you deserve. Your legal journey with us begins with a no cost initial consultation, during which we will discuss the obstetrical history and the circumstances surrounding your situation. We meticulously gather and review all relevant medical records, including antenatal, labor and delivery, fetal heart tracings, and newborn records, at no cost to you.
Should concerns arise during this review, we engage highly trained medical experts to assess whether there was a breach of the standard of care and establish causation for the birth injury. With their expert support, we build a robust case to pursue compensation for your child and family, aiming to provide necessary justice and financial support. Our experienced birth injury and trauma lawyers in Toronto, Ottawa, and across Ontario are well-versed in handling such intricate cases and will tirelessly advocate for your family's rights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the insurance company obligated to continue to pay me long-term disability benefits?
There are generally two broad restrictions on how long an insurance company is obligated to continue to pay you long-term disability benefits.
- The first is based upon entitlement.
To receive benefits, you must continue to meet the disability tests under the applicable own occupation or any occupation provisions.
- The second restriction is related to time or age.
Every contract for long-term disability insurance is different. Some contracts are time-limited; that is, they will only provide benefits for two years, or five years, or ten years, regardless of your age. Almost all contracts are also age-limited. Nearly every agreement in Canada provides for the entitlement to continue to receive long-term disability benefits as long as you qualify for benefits or until you reach the age of 65, whichever comes first.
Every policy is different, and it's easy to misunderstand when your benefits are supposed to end. Our long-term disability lawyers can review your specific contract and explain what applies to you. We take these cases on contingency, so there are no upfront fees. We're only paid if we win or your claim settles successfully.
