Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance is designed to provide financial support if you are unable to work due to a severe injury or illness. However, securing these benefits can be a complex and frustrating process, especially if your claim is denied or delayed. At Bespoke Legal Group, our experienced TPD insurance claims lawyers in Southport and the Gold Coast are committed to helping you navigate this challenging landscape. We provide professional legal guidance to ensure you receive the compensation and support you are entitled to under your policy.

​

​

Understanding TPD Insurance

TPD insurance is typically included in superannuation policies or can be taken out as a standalone policy. It offers a lump-sum payment if you are unable to return to work in your usual occupation, or any other suitable role, due to a permanent disability. However, the criteria for a successful TPD claim can vary significantly between policies and insurers. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of your specific policy terms, as well as the legal requirements for a claim, to maximise your chances of a successful outcome.

​

Common Grounds for TPD Claims

  • Serious Injury: Physical injuries such as spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, or limb amputations that prevent you from working.

  • Chronic Illness: Severe medical conditions like cancer, heart disease, or multiple sclerosis that impair your ability to maintain employment.

  • Mental Health Conditions: Psychological conditions such as severe depression or anxiety, which may also be grounds for a TPD claim if they result in total and permanent incapacity.

​

Our Approach to TPD Insurance Claims

Initial Consultation

We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to assess the merits of your claim. During this meeting, we will review your medical history, employment background, and insurance policy details to determine the likelihood of a successful outcome. We provide clear advice on the next steps and what you can expect from the claims process.

​

Policy Review and Advice

One of the most challenging aspects of a TPD claim is interpreting the specific terms and conditions of your insurance policy. Our lawyers conduct a thorough review of your policy, identifying the key requirements and any potential obstacles to your claim. We will explain these in plain language, ensuring you fully understand your rights and options.

​

Evidence Gathering and Claim Preparation

A successful TPD claim relies heavily on comprehensive evidence. We work with your medical practitioners to obtain detailed reports that support your claim of total and permanent disability. We also gather additional evidence, such as occupational assessments and statements from previous employers, to strengthen your case.

​

Claim Lodgement and Negotiation

Once we have compiled the necessary evidence, we prepare and lodge your claim with the insurer. Our lawyers handle all correspondence and negotiations with the insurance company, advocating on your behalf to secure the best possible outcome. We are experienced in dealing with common tactics used by insurers to deny or delay claims and know how to counter them effectively.

​

Dispute Resolution and Court Representation

If your claim is denied or the insurer offers a settlement that does not reflect the extent of your disability, we are prepared to take further action. Our team can represent you in disputes with the insurer, including mediation or, if necessary, legal proceedings in court. We are committed to fighting for your rights and securing the compensation you deserve.

​

​

Common Issues in TPD Insurance Claims

Denial of Claims

Insurance companies may deny TPD claims for a variety of reasons, such as disputes over the severity of your disability or whether your condition meets the policy’s definition of ‘total and permanent disability.’ Our lawyers are skilled in challenging these denials, using detailed evidence and legal arguments to advocate for your entitlements.

​

Delays in Processing

It is not uncommon for insurers to delay the processing of TPD claims, which can cause significant financial hardship and stress. We ensure that your claim is handled promptly, maintaining regular communication with the insurer and taking action if there are unreasonable delays.

​

Complex Policy Terms

The terms and conditions of TPD insurance policies can be complex and confusing, with varying definitions of ‘disability’ and different criteria for eligibility. Our lawyers are experienced in interpreting these policies and can provide you with clear guidance on how to meet the necessary requirements.

​

​

Why Act Now?

Protect Your Financial Future

A successful TPD claim can provide you with the financial security needed to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and everyday living expenses. Acting promptly ensures that your claim is filed within the relevant time limits and that you receive the support you need as soon as possible.

​

Avoid Claim Rejection

There are strict time limits for lodging TPD claims, and missing these deadlines can result in your claim being rejected, regardless of its merits. Seeking legal advice early in the process can help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure that your claim is submitted correctly and on time.
