Q A legal matters INjuRy LAw A couple of years ago, I purchased critical injury insurance. I am now sick, but the insurance company won't pay. what should I do? The first thing that you need is a letter from the insurance company spelling out why they are refusing to pay and specifying the section of the policy they are relying on. It could be as simple as they lack the proper forms or reports, or not in some cases. Secondly, make sure that you have a copy of the policy so that it can be reviewed. Critical illness insurance generally covers an individual against heart attack, stroke and cancer and is sold in 10, 20 year increments, usually to age 75 or sometimes longer. Policies can cover a wide variety of illnesses. The policy can be complicated and difficult to understand. It may have a variety of "riders" (conditions), which can deal with secondary illnesses, loss of independence, disability, waiver of premium, etc. These policies can also be very restrictive and cover only specific narrowly-described illnesses. Just because you have a heart attack, cancer or stoke as we commonly understand it does not mean you get the benefit. Insurance companies use their own definitions of these terms, which may or may not coincide with your own doctor's definition of the terms. These types of claims are time-sensitive and certain time limitations apply if you wish to take action against the Insurance Company. We have experience in dealing with these types of refusals to pay claims. If you need help, give us a call. Prearranging your burial or cremation is the last gift you can give your family. It releases them from having to quickly make decisions in their time of grief. It also frees them from the need to pay costs associated with your cemetery arrangements. Contact one of our family counsellors to discuss your wishes and options.
