About Access Legal
Access Legal Services (ALS) has been delivering professional legal services in the Greater Toronto Area for over 17 years, and our senior partners have more than 40 years of negotiating experience. With a long list of clients and successfully processed claims, the firm is a trusted source for disability-related legal services. Our firm in association with several prominent lawyers provide client focus legal services in Toronto. Our clients range from first generation immigrants encountering Ontario’s legal system for the first time, to well established Canadians seeking professional legal services.
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)
ALS has represented several employees and employers with respect to matters involving work-related injuries, both at the WSIB level as well as at Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT). ALS has developed a comprehensive program for both the employer and the employee in WSIB injury case management. Our firm represents employers and injured workers at tribunals. We negotiate for clients through mediation or arbitration, file WSIB claims, and educate businesses on how to effectively and efficiently manage WSIB claims. Finally, through our expertise in WSIB regulations, we can help employers set up a ‘Safe and Healthy Workplace’ environment program, and assign appropriate tasks to injured workers to reduce the costs of WSIB premiums and prevent further injuries to the injured worker.Read More
Many WSIB matters involve the following benefits and programs:
- Benefit for Loss of Earnings (LOE)
- Benefit for Non-Economic Loss (NEL)
- Loss of Retirement Income (LRI) Benefit
- Benefit for Future Economic Loss (FEL)
- Health Care Benefits
- Health Care Equipment and Supplies
- The Occupational Disease and Survivor Benefits Program
- Benefits for Seriously Injured Workers
- Compensation Amounts for Survivors
- Labour Market Re-entry
Long Term Disability (LTD)
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.
When should you apply for LTD?
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

Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefit (CPPD)
The Canada Pension Plan Disability benefit (CPPD) is a monthly payment available to those individuals who have contributed to the Canada Pension Plan and are unable to work at any job due to a disability. The purpose of this benefit is to replace a portion of employment earnings. The criteria used for approval of this benefit is based on an individual’s ability to demonstrate through the medical evidence that they are unable to work on a regular basis. If you are thinking of applying for this benefit or if your benefit has been denied, ALS can help.Read More
What Qualifies as a Disability?
Your disability must be severe and prolonged. Medical adjudicators decide if you are eligible for the benefit based on your application and supporting documentation.
Contact one of our experienced legal representatives if you require assistance with you claim for CPP disability benefits.
Slip and Fall Injuries
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

Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)
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):
- Income Replacement Benefits
- Non-earner Benefits
- Caregiver Benefits
- Medical Benefits
- Rehabilitation Benefits
- Attendant Care Benefits
- Death and Funeral Benefits
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
