Likely there's more to it than that. And I'm not sure there would be a hard and fast time limit...more a reasonableness standard. Payment is not normally a deciding factor. Many lawyers start on cases without being paid. But, how long after you provide him with everything he requested and needed to filedoes he do so could be important....and also importantly, even if he was late in doing so after you provided him everything....did you actually incur any damages. And only if you can prove so, then those damages may be his responsibility. (Things like mental distress won't apply here).

If you mean your employer filed for bankruptcy and stopped paying your LTC insurance premium, probably. You should get notice that you can pay the premium on your own. If you mean the LTC insurance company filed for bankruptcy and notified you that you were no longer insured, you may want to consult a local bankruptcy lawyer, since the answer may depend on state law. If you mean you have been receiving LTC insurance payments because you are receiving long-term care, consult a local attorney familiar with this issue. State law may not allow it, and you may have a priority claim in the bankruptcy.
