Guiding You Through Every Step of Your TPD Claim

At Fortitude Legal, we specialise in handling Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims in Ballarat, providing personalised and comprehensive legal support tailored to your unique situation. Our experienced team is committed to guiding you through the complexities of TPD claims, ensuring you understand your rights and options every step of the way. With our no win no fee lawyers, you can pursue your claim with confidence.

 

If you have been away from work for a period of time owing to an injury or illness, and you do not have the capacity to work again in your prior occupation or in a position to which you are suited by reason of your education, training or experience, you may be eligible to make a TPD compensation claim.

Different TPD policies may have different definitions of “Total and Permanent Disablement”. It is therefore important to seek legal advice from expert compensation lawyers as soon as possible to ensure a positive outcome.

Understanding TPD Insurance and Its Importance

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance provides crucial financial support if you are unable to work due to a permanent illness or injury. It can help cover living expenses, medical costs, and provide long-term security during challenging times. A TPD policy may be contained within your superannuation fund, or it may be a private policy you have opted to take out separate to your super fund for added security.

On occasion it is our experience that our clients are not aware that their superannuation fund contains TPD insurance coverage. Understanding your TPD insurance policy and entitlements is essential to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. At Fortitude Legal, we’re here to guide you through the process, offering expert advice and support from our compensation lawyers, to help you make the most of your personal injury claim.

Proven Results for Ballarat Clients

Always had alot going on in the background, but kept me updated as needed. Thanks Guys
Wasn't so sure about Cameron when we first met, but I had been given a good recommendation by someone I trusted.
Everything was explained to me, then as we got to each step it was explained again.
Nothing was too much trouble & when I wouldn't be helped by the insurance company a phone call from Fortitude would quickly have it sorted.
Fortitude Legal could not have done better with my claim, they really put the effort & fight in for me.
They were most mindful of a person illness I was also recovering from at that time

Thank you to all who work in the Ballarat Office of Fortitude Legal you really have helped get me to the next stage of my life without worrying
Cameron, Fiona, Jenni and staff were very easy to deal with. I would recommend Fortitude Legal any day they were all very supportive throughout my 5 year process. Thank you all at Fortitude Legal.
Where do I start! From my first conversation with Cameron, and then Fiona (& their staff Jenni & Ashlee) I have felt heard, understood & informed. Knowledgeable, articulate, understanding & empathetic all the way through. Nothing was too much trouble - even having to repeat themselves for me when I didn't quite get it! Their communication was excellent as we waited for, what at times seemed like ages, things to go through the system. I will be forever grateful for the help & counsel that I received (I don't know where I would have been without it). I thoroughly recommend Fortitude Legal to anyone needing assistance.
I was in consultation with Fiona Goodie, one of their lawyers, and I have never felt so heard and understood. She was truly amazing and explained everything so well for me. There was no stress because ultimately I had the say over my case, which left me feeling a lot lighter in all aspects. I would recommend fortitude to anyone, especially Fiona.
A massive thank you to all of the staff at Fortitude Legal, with special thanks to Fiona and Cameron. The work that they have done on my behalf has been outstanding and I am more than satisfied with the outcome that they achieved for me. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.
Fiona at Fortitude Legal looked after a claim for my husband which was finalised recently. We went to Fortitude Legal because they were local to Ballarat and supporting a local business was important to us. During the lengthy process we found Fiona to be informative, professional and kept us updated at all times. We were happy with the outcome and happy to recommend Fortitude Legal to any of our friends or family that may need help in the future. Thanks Fiona and Cam
Fiona and the team are the best and nicest people you could have working for in these hard situations
Highly recommend fortitude legal
Cameron and his team have been professional and diligent in every aspect of my claim.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Fortitude Legel in the future and highly recommend all of the staff.
Thankyou from my family
Kind regards
Chris.
Very thankful that I have had this amazing team with me on this ride and their respect and diligence has been so appreciated by myself and my family
