    How We Help Queenslanders Get Maximum Payout In Minimum Time

    Since 1956 we have helped tens of thousands of people navigate complex TPD insurance claims. We realise that this is an emotional time for you. 

    Unlike other lawyers with complicated fee structures (that often include upfront or expensive uplift fees that can increase your costs by 25%), our genuine no-win-no-pay fees are fair, and totally transparent so you know exactly what to expect and won’t pay a cent unless you win.

    While many lawyers prioritise cases based on fee potential (forcing you to wait for your money), we treat every case as urgent and help you get the best outcome as fast as possible, so you can focus on recovering and enjoying your best future.

    We’ll even come to you (or meet over Zoom) and explain everything in plain English so you always know exactly what’s happening with your claim.

    The details of TPD policies vary from insurer to insurer, but generally they allow you to make a claim if you’re unable to function in your usual occupation due to illness, impairment or injury.

    The amount of the claim you can make will be determined by the terms of your policy, and policies can be difficult to understand. What’s more, it’s not uncommon for people to have more that one super fund, and therefore multiple TPD insurance policies. So, why not take advantage of our free consultation and find out exactly what your entitlements are.

    Examples of injuries are:

    • A physical disability, such as quadriplegia, paraplegia, vision loss, respiratory disorders, or a traumatic brain injury
    • An injury or illness like a back, arm, shoulder or leg injury that will prevent you from returning to work in the job you are trained in
    • A psychological disability, such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression
    • Existing medical conditions that have worsened, to the point where they have taken over your life
    • A condition that has permanently impacted your health and ability to work in your trained job

    Your payout amount depends on:

    • Your injury or impairment
    • Your work experience
    • The terms of the insurance policy
    • The available medical evidence

    we can do it by phone, in our office, or we can come to you.

      Maybe you have these questions

      How do you charge for TPD insurance claims?

      Here at Trilby Misso, we operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, which means we’ll only charge fees if your claim is successful. And, unlike some other lawyers, we won’t charge an “uplift” fee, either. An uplift fee can be a significant charge of up to 25% of the fees. Learn more about our fees here.

      Can I manage my TPD insurance claim by myself?

      While it is possible to manage your claim independently, doing so may not yield the best outcome. We have the expertise to negotiate with insurance companies effectively, potentially securing a higher compensation amount than you could on your own.

      How do I choose the right lawyer for my TPD insurance claim?

      Choose a lawyer with specific experience in TPD claims and a proven track record of securing compensation for their clients. It’s important to select someone who communicates clearly and whom you trust, as they will be your advocate in this process.

      How long will my claim take?

      With every claim having different factors to consider it’s difficult to assess how long your claim will take to process. We can provide you with a better estimate of how long your claim will take in our assessment meeting.
