Navigating Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) Claims: A Compassionate and Cost-Effective Approach

At Newcastle Advisors, we're committed to supporting Australians through their most challenging times, especially when it comes to making a Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) claim. We understand the frustration and vulnerability that comes with navigating this process, and we're here to offer a more compassionate and cost-effective alternative to high legal fees.

The Problem with Legal Fees

It's disheartening to see vulnerable Australians, already struggling with conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments, being burdened with exorbitant legal fees. Some lawyers charge a fixed fee of $25,000 just to complete and submit a claim form to the insurance company or super fund. This fee can increase by 25% if the insurance payout is successful. On top of that, these lawyers often prioritize their payment above the client's financial well-being, even charging interest at 2% above the RBA cash rate for unpaid bills. This approach can leave clients in a worse financial position than before.
