Negotiation
Your lawyer will handle all the paperwork throughout the TPD or TTD claim process and deal with your superannuation fund or insurer. This process can be complicated and drawn out, so we’ll handle it from start to finish, and keep the pressure right on them every step of the way.

Time limits do apply to the period in which you can request the review of any TPD claim rejected by your superannuation fund. Because of this, it’s best to speak to one of our TTD and TPD claims experts when practicable* to ensure that your entitlements are fully protected.
