Do you need a lawyer to assist with a TPD claim?

Making a disability or superannuation TPD claim can be frustratingly difficult. While it’s certainly possible to try and navigate your way through the claims process by yourself, having an experienced TPD lawyer on your side will definitely help your case. They can help in some important ways:

Helping you to understand your TPD policy and clauses

Not all superannuation funds or insurers present their rules and definitions of TPD in the same way. This can result in confusion – for example, definitions and wording can sometimes be so confusing that it’s difficult to understand whether you’re actually eligible to make a claim. A lawyer who has expertise in dealing with insurers can really add value for you by quickly assessing your claim and eligibility.

Ensuring that the evidence to support your TPD claim is properly gathered and presented

It’s easy for an insurance company to reject your TPD super claim by saying there’s “a lack of supporting evidence for your case.” This is where an experienced TPD lawyer can really help by knowing exactly which documents are required for your claim. They also ensure all the specific evidence is presented in the correct chronological and procedural order. This will ensure your claim isn’t rejected on simple technical grounds.

Applying valuable professional knowledge across the TPD insurance sector

An experienced TPD lawyer will use their own proven expertise on your case, and can ensure that you’re updated at every step of the way as your case progresses. They will also reduce your stress and worry levels, because many things that may seem of great concern to you will be “business as usual” for a TPD claims expert.

Ensuring that your claim is processed as quickly as possible

Many insurance providers are very experienced in ways to delay your TPD claim! This may really drag out the length of the claim process. We’ve known self-managed claims to take months or even years longer to complete than if an experienced lawyer had been involved. While a claim does take time to process and progress through typical TPD milestones, an experienced TPD lawyer will not allow an insurance company to deliberately hold up your claim and push for additional and unnecessary time.
