Acquiring a disability or suffering a career-altering injury is life-changing—and battling insurance companies, employers, or government bodies for the benefits you are legally owed should not be a struggle you face alone. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we stand as your dedicated legal champions. We combine deep empathy with aggressive litigation to ensure you receive full financial protection, fair workplace accommodations, and every benefit promised under Kenyan law.

Core Disability Benefits & Incapacity Claims We Handle

Navigating disability claims requires navigating complex medical assessments, insurance policies, and statutory frameworks like the Persons with Disabilities Act, the Work Injury Benefits Act (WIBA, Cap 236), and Article 54 of the Constitution of Kenya. Our litigation team represents employees, injured workers, and policyholders across:

• Workplace Injury & WIBA Permanent Disablement Claims:

1. Filing and pursuing permanent total disability (PTD) and permanent partial disability (PPD) claims under WIBA for workplace accidents and occupational illnesses.

2. Challenging low medical impairment assessments by insurance doctors or the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) to secure fair lump-sum compensation based on the statutory 96-month earnings formula.

3. Litigating appeals before the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) when employers or insurers refuse to pay statutory compensation.

• Workplace Discrimination & Unfair Dismissal Litigation:

1. Defending employees who face unlawful termination, demotion, or salary reduction after acquiring a medical condition or disability, in violation of Section 22 of the Persons with Disabilities Act.

2. Enforcing the legal obligation of employers to provide reasonable accommodation (workplace adjustments, assistive tools, or role reassignment) as mandated by landmark Supreme Court precedents.

• Insurance Disability & Critical Illness Claim Appeals:

1. Representing policyholders when private insurance firms reject claims for Permanent Total Disability (PTD), group life coverage, income protection, or critical illness benefits.

2. Filing commercial court actions against insurance companies for bad-faith claim denials, unreasonable delays, or restrictive policy interpretations.

• Statutory Pensions, NSSF Invalidity Benefits & State Relief:

1. Assisting clients in appealing rejected NSSF Invalidity Benefit applications and disputed civil service medical retirement pensions.

2. Advising PWDs and families on accessing statutory tax exemptions, NCPWD registration rights, and educational/medical support funds.
