Testimonials

Thankyou

"I lack the words to thank you for your help – so when I came across this poem by my favourite poet I thought I would pass it along because it expresses my sentiment better than I can. Thank you for your expertise and your patience – but particularly for your kindness!"

Nancy L.

You Made a Tough Time Better

“I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you did on my behalf. These past few years, it was a tough time for me, but you made it all so much better. From the first time I talked to you on the phone 3 years ago I felt that you really cared about me and that I was more than just a number or client. I appreciate that immensely! I will definitely recommend you if I know someone in a similar situation as me. Once again, thank you for all you have done! Sincerely,”

Trusted Lawyer

in Alberta and Saskatchewan

At Ludwar Law Firm, we know that our clients often want more than just legal services: they also want someone to listen to them and offer support regarding many aspects of disability and someone who will make them a priority. Our Calgary serious injuries and disability claims lawyer commits to being there for his clients and will return calls within 24 hours.

The three main branches of Ludwar Law Firm are private long-term disability claims, Canada Pension Plan disability claims, and personal injury claims.

Private Long-term Disability Claim Lawyer
One of James Ludwar's strengths is his ability to make complex legal concepts simple for clients, insurance adjusters and other legal professionals. When dealing with your disability claim, he will make sure you understand:
- The difference between legal disability and medical disability
- Lump-sum benefits versus ongoing benefits and what will give you the most breathing room when trying to get back to work
- The differences between "own occupation" clauses and "any reasonable occupation" clauses
- The pre-existing conditions and how to deal with being unjustly denied because of them
- Why your diagnosis doesn't matter as much as your functional limitations and their effect on your ability to work
Canada Disability Pension Lawyer
CPP disability benefits are often much harder to get than private long-term disability. If you have been denied coverage, we will help you understand common reasons for denial, such as:
- Ability to work, even if the only jobs available are part-time, not in your area and don't take into account your previous training or work history
- Disability not considered "long-continued and of indefinite duration"
- Lack of adequate medical proof of your disability
If you choose to appeal within the 90-day period after you have been turned down, we will help you through the appeals process and help you get the benefits you deserve.
Personal Injury Lawyer
A personal injury lawsuit can be time-consuming and stressful. Some common areas where you may need compensation are:
- Time off work
- Costs of rehabilitation
- Your family's costs in caring for you
- Future loss of wages if your injuries result in permanent damage
- Pain and suffering
Our team will help you understand your options under Alberta personal injury law, gather information about your accident, and arrange for medical documentation of your injuries. We will handle the legal aspects of your recovery so that you can concentrate on getting better.

We will answer your questions and review your work history, abilities, and medical symptoms. We will then determine your particular level of ability to work and help you understand why you have been turned down by CPP or by your insurance company. The legal process can be daunting and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Ludwar Law Firm is on your side. Give us a call today to book an appointment.
