TPD Insurance Claims Assistance

We Change People’s Lives

Claims Assistance is an established insurance claims consultancy business that has been helping people get their lives back on track after a TPD or Disability claim since 2006.

Dealing with Claims Assistance vs dealing with a solicitor

There is an increasing trend for solicitors and lawyers to offer their services for trauma and TPD (total permanent disability) insurance claims.

 

The question is why seek our help instead of a law firm?

As we work in the insurance industry we have strong relationships with insurance companies. We know intimately the insurance products a person seeks to claim against (so we don’t charge time to learn the intricacies of a specific policy). We understand insurance underwriting so we are aware of what information is required and our staff have also worked within the claims departments of several insurers, so we understand the processes. We are confident in knowing what needs to be provided and when something is able too be questioned. We can also pre-empt an issue and seek the information that is required in order to speed up the process.

[read more]Solicitors and Lawyers are generally adversarial in nature. Engaging a solicitor is in our opinion taking a wrong approach to a claim. We do not bill an hourly rate and as we know the policies which are being claimed against, so you are not paying for someone to review and learn about these policies. A claim is procedural and not a matter which (initially) needs to be litigated. As long as the claim is within the terms of the policy it should be paid.[/read]

The cost of our service is much more affordable than a solicitor.

When an insurer does not meet their obligation under the policy then their decision can be disputed. There are several approaches available before litigation can be considered. This includes internal review, seeking assistance with the Ombudsman AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority) and mediation.

[read more]When you seek to introduce litigation against an insurer they are obligated to obtain their own representation. Rest assured the insurer has more funds to pay their legal costs than you.
Litigation also attracts cost judgements. It is not unheard of for a client to receive only 30% of their claim after all costs.
Litigation is but one approach which is timely and costly. It is always important to remember that however much you can afford to pay a solicitor the insurance company can afford to pay more.[/read]

Claiming for TPD, Trauma, Critical Illness Insurance in Australia

[read more]From its base of operations in Sydney, Claims Assistance helps Australians fprocess urgent claims with all insurance companies who provide personal insurance in Australia, and who cover Australians for:

• life insurance
• total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance
• trauma or critical illness insurance
• income protection or salary continuance or sickness or accident insurance; and
• business expenses insurance.

We assist with health insurance claims no matter who issues them

Whilst the insurance companies who generally provide these policies are life insurance companies, they can also be issued by:

• superannuation funds who have an arrangement with an insurance company
• general insurance companies
• health insurance companies; and even
• mutual funds (who operate as a co-operative for their members and in effect self-insure.)

We’re here to help you claim quickly on your policy

When dealing with any insurance policy there will be a policy document which sets out the terms of the policy between the insurance company and the insured. The policy owner may be a superannuation fund, an individual, a company or a trust. The key point is the policy document which sets out how the policy operates. The insurance company is required to uphold this policy as it sets out the terms by which a policy operates.

We help you understand your policy and claim on your insurance

That’s not to say your policy (policies) is easy to read and that’ll you’ll instantly grasp what you’re covered for and to understand what may not be covered. You may have several policies with some overlap. We can help you navigate the policy terms, fill out the documentation and quickly process your claim. Properly filling out the forms helps the insurer in their assessment. With the experts at Claims Assistance by your side, you’ll avoid delays and get a speedy resolution. When you need to focus on your health, we’re here to help you manage the paperwork and the details.

Claiming from your super fund’s insurance cover can be hard. We’re here to help!

When insurance is held inside a superannuation fund, the superannuation fund will outsource the insurance to an insurance company. The superannuation fund will also be managed by a trustee. To have a claim approved, it must first be approved by the insurance company, then the superannuation fund, then finally the trustee of the superannuation fund. As there are more parties involved, there is more complexity in having an insurance claim approved and paid.

Odds are we’ve successfully claimed from your insurer

At Claims Assistance we have experience with most insurers and superannuation funds in Australia. We have dealt directly with the following insurers, and in many cases have very good relationships to which we can call on:

• OnePath
• MLC

There are many superannuation funds in Australia, and we have dealt with all of the largest ones including the largest industry super funds:

Have a question about TPD insurance Sydney? 

I have been a customer of Greg and would recommend him for his services in personal insurance.  He has worked hard as the intermediary with my insurance company and has come up with an excellent result given the circumstances of my situation. It is most unlikely I would have had this outcome without his assistance.
