TPD - Have you suffered an injury or an illness, which has caused you to cease or reduce work hours?

You may be entitled to a total and permanent disability claim or an income protection claim to receive disability insurance. This is also known as "Total and Permanent Disability," "Total and Temporary Disability" and "Income Protection and Salary Continuance."

With disability claim compensation, it is important to understand that the injury or illness does not have to be caused within the workplace.

At Adams McWilliams Solicitors, we are experienced in total and permanent disability (TPD) claims and can help you understand your rights and get you the compensation that you are due.

What is Total and Permanent Disability insurance (TPD)?

Total and Permanent Disability Insurance provides a lump sum payment to somebody that has suffered injury or illness and is permanently prevented from returning to work, education or training.
What is Total and Temporary Disability Insurance (TTD)?

Total and Temporary Disability Insurance provides a monthly payment where a person, due to injury or illness, is prevented from returning to work within their usual occupation. This also applies if they have to reduce their usual hours of work.

What is life insurance?

Life insurance provides a lump sum payment when a person is diagnosed with a critical or terminal illness or dies.

How do I know if I have disability insurance?

Disability insurance is usually found through your superannuation fund. However, it may also be found outside of superannuation, under an individual insurance plan. Contact us for a free, no obligation investigation into your disability insurance entitlements or your superannuation.

Am I eligible to claim disability insurance?

Whether you are eligible to make a claim for disability insurance or disability pension depends on your insurance policy and individual circumstances. We can request documents on your behalf and conduct a free investigation into your disability insurance entitlements.

Do I need a Lawyer to make a disability insurance claim?

You are not required to have a lawyer to make a disability pension or insurance claim, however the process of lodging a disability insurance claim is complex and you may require assistance to secure compensation.
