If you suffer an injury, illness or medical condition—whether at work, in a motor vehicle accident, as a result of a personal injury, or otherwise and irrespective of who is at fault —then you may be entitled to claim the insurance benefit available under a superannuation fund entitlement, called “Total and Permanent Disability” (TPD). This is over and above any other compensation claim.
Who can make a TPD claim?
You’re eligible to make a claim, if you meet three criteria:
You’ve ceased working because of an injury, illness or medical condition.
You’re unlikely to return to work because of that injury, illness or medical condition.
You’re under 65 years of age.
To find out if you have TPD insurance:
Either check your Superannuation Statement(s) yourself or provide the statements to us and we’ll check them on your behalf. If you don't have these statements to hand, we can make enquiries with the appropriate person or organisation on your behalf.
How much can I claim?
You’re allowed to claim the amount of money you’re insured for by way of TPD policy with your insurer.
What will it cost to lodge a claim?
Like most services, the costs typically depend upon the work required to get the job done. However, as a “No Win, No Fee”–guaranteed law firm, you won’t be charged for professional services or outlays if we don’t win your case. And, with no hidden costs and fees much lower than industry average, you’ll always receive the lion’s share of the proceeds when you work with us.
