From Claim to Compensation: Legal Help That Works for You
If you’re facing the devastating reality of no longer being able to work due to injury or illness, know this: you’re not alone. Many Australians find hope and support through Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance claims. At Gordon Legal, our TPD claim lawyers are here to guide you through every step of the process – compassionately, expertly, and relentlessly. With no win no fee options, you don’t have to worry about legal costs upfront. You just focus on healing. We’ll take care of the rest.
Can I afford a TPD lawyer if I don’t have money upfront?
Yes. You absolutely can. At Gordon Legal, we firmly believe that justice should never be out of reach because of finances. That’s why our TPD claim lawyers offer no win no fee legal services. This means:
- You don’t pay unless your claim is successful.
- All initial costs, including consultations, medical reports, and administration, are covered by us.
- You can access top-tier legal advice without worrying about the financial risk.
We understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re dealing with a serious injury or illness. Adding legal bills to that stress isn’t right. So we’ve removed that barrier. It’s part of our commitment to being warm, understanding and fiercely determined to help you get what you’re entitled to.
This model also aligns with our gutsy approach to legal representation. We back ourselves to win your case. That’s why we take it on.
Can a TPD lawyer help with my appeal?
Definitely. If your initial TPD claim has been rejected, don’t give up hope. The appeal process can be complex, but it is often where we make the biggest difference for our clients. A skilled TPD lawyer from Gordon Legal will:
- Review the reasons for the insurer’s denial
- Examine your policy and ensure your claim meets the TPD claim requirements
- Identify weaknesses or missing information in your original application
- Strengthen your claim with additional evidence (medical, vocational, psychological)
- Draft detailed and persuasive appeal documents
- Represent you in any internal dispute resolution or court proceedings if necessary
We’ve turned around countless rejected claims. Why? Because we know what insurers look for, and what they try to avoid. We’re not intimidated by bureaucracy. We’re motivated by it.
Insurers can make the process unnecessarily difficult. Our role is to cut through the noise and make your case loud and clear.
How likely am I to win a TPD claim in Australia?
With the right legal guidance, your chances improve significantly. The likelihood of success in a TPD claim depends on several key factors:
- The wording of your policy (some are more restrictive than others)
- The strength of your medical evidence
- Your employment and education history
- The way your claim is presented to the insurer
Many Australians are entitled to TPD claim compensation and don’t even realise it. Others assume they’ll be approved and make critical errors in their paperwork. That’s where we step in.
Our team of personal injury lawyers in Australia has helped clients across a wide range of industries and health conditions, from psychological illnesses to serious back and spinal injuries, cancer, and more. We tailor each claim to the specific facts of your case, which is crucial because no two claims are the same.
When you work with TPD claim lawyers who specialise in disability claims, you’re giving your case the best possible chance of success.
What are the steps to file a TPD claim?
The process can be daunting. But when you’ve got a team like ours behind you, it becomes manageable, straightforward, and focused.
Here are the key steps to filing a TPD claim in Australia:
Step 1: Understand Your Policy We begin by reviewing your superannuation policy. Every policy has its own definition of “Total and Permanent Disability,” and we need to ensure your condition meets that definition.
Step 2: Gather Medical Evidence We work with your treating doctors or refer you to specialists to obtain reports that clearly outline:
- Your diagnosis
- Your functional limitations
- Your prognosis
- The likelihood of returning to work in your education, training or experience
Step 3: Prepare Supporting Documentation This includes:
- Employment history
- Payslips
- Superannuation details
- Personal statements and affidavits
Step 4: Lodge Your Claim We complete the forms, assemble your evidence and submit your claim directly to your insurer or superannuation fund.
Step 5: Respond to Follow-Up Requests Insurers often seek additional information. We handle all communication to ensure no delay or miscommunication undermines your claim.
Step 6: Outcome or Appeal If your claim is approved, we ensure your TPD claim payout is processed correctly. If not, we’re ready to escalate the matter immediately.
Having an experienced TPD lawyer guiding each of these steps ensures that the claim is strong from the beginning. It also ensures that you understand the process and feel supported at every point.
Can a TPD lawyer help negotiate with insurance companies?
Absolutely. And you need someone who can stand up to them.
Insurers are large institutions with deep pockets and teams of assessors. But we know their game. We know the tactics they use to delay, reject or reduce valid claims. And we push back, hard.
Here’s what we do for you:
- Take over all communication with your insurer
- Submit all documents in line with legal and policy requirements
- Push for faster response times and fair assessment periods
- Argue against unreasonable requests or assumptions
- Negotiate settlements that reflect your actual entitlement
It’s not about being aggressive for the sake of it. It’s about being clear, confident and unwilling to let our clients be mistreated.
The reality is this: many claims are unfairly delayed or underpaid simply because insurers think they can get away with it. Not on our watch.
We believe that people who are unable to work due to permanent injury or illness deserve dignity, fairness, and prompt access to their rightful compensation.
Our team of claim solicitors and TPD lawyers for workplace injuries is relentless in pursuit of justice. We do not back down.
