Support with Insurance Claims in Queensland
Navigating insurance claims can feel like a lot to manage when you’re already dealing with an injury, illness or unexpected event. At Bespoke Personal Injury Lawyers, we assist clients across Queensland, including the Gold Coast, with understanding how their insurance cover works and what benefits may apply to their situation.
We take a straightforward approach, explaining how policies differ and what steps are needed to submit a claim. This includes total and permanent disability (TPD), income protection, trauma and life insurance claims, as well as those connected to superannuation funds. Many people find the paperwork and waiting periods confusing, so we aim to make the process clearer from the start.
Each claim is unique, and the outcome often depends on your policy wording, evidence and insurer response. By breaking down each stage and keeping communication open, we help clients stay informed throughout the process. If you’d like to understand your insurance options or discuss a potential claim, call (07) 5620 0559 to speak with our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of insurance claims can be made in Queensland?
Insurance claims can include total and permanent disability (TPD), income protection, trauma and life insurance. Some are linked to superannuation while others are held directly with insurers. Each policy has its own eligibility criteria and conditions, so understanding your cover before lodging a claim can help you prepare the right documents and know what benefits may be available.
Can an insurance claim be declined?
Yes. A claim may be declined if it does not meet the policy’s conditions, lacks supporting evidence or is submitted outside of the time limits. Insurers also have exclusions for certain circumstances. If your claim is denied, you can request an internal review or seek independent advice about options for reconsideration through the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
What happens if my insurer delays my claim?
Delays can occur for several reasons, such as missing documents or requests for more medical information. Keeping a record of all correspondence and following up regularly can help maintain progress. If you feel the delay is unreasonable, you can raise a formal complaint with your insurer or contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority for independent assistance.
How We Approach Insurance Claims
Insurance claims are there to provide financial support when life does not go as planned. When health issues or unexpected events affect your ability to work or meet daily costs, understanding the process can make a real difference. We guide clients through each stage so they know what is needed and how their insurer reviews the information.
We explain which documents are usually required, such as medical reports, financial statements and policy details, and outline how they are used in the claim review. Every policy has its own terms, so we take time to explain what those mean in simple, direct language. Our goal is to make the process feel less stressful by keeping communication clear and practical.
Having everything organised early can help things move more smoothly and reduce unnecessary delays.

TPD Insurance Claims
Total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance exists to provide financial support when an injury or illness stops you from working. Most superannuation funds include TPD cover, so you may be able to access a lump sum if your condition prevents you from returning to your usual job or, depending on your policy, any job at all.
TPD claims rely on clear evidence about your medical condition, employment background and the way your injury or illness affects your everyday functioning. We help you work through this information, explain what insurers look for and prepare the documents needed to support your claim.
A TPD payout can make a significant difference when your income is affected and you need financial stability. If you’d like to understand your eligibility or want help navigating a TPD claim in Queensland, our team is here to provide clear, practical advice.
IP Insurance
Income protection (IP) claims often arise when an injury or illness forces you off work and you need financial support during your recovery. These claims can be challenging because insurers closely examine your capacity for work and the medical evidence that supports your claim. We help you present your circumstances clearly so the insurer understands the extent of your restrictions.
Most claims require detailed medical records, employer reports and financial information. We help you gather and organise this material and make sure it reflects the impact your condition has had on your ability to work. Strong evidence usually limits delays and reduces the chance of the insurer asking for extra information.
We support you through the full claim process, help you respond to insurer decisions and step in if your claim is delayed or disputed. If you’re pursuing an IP claim in Queensland and want clear guidance on your entitlements, we’re here to help.
Trauma Insurance
Trauma insurance provides a benefit when a person is diagnosed with a listed critical condition. Each policy sets out specific definitions and some use detailed medical criteria that can be difficult to interpret during a stressful time. We help you review your policy wording and understand how your diagnosis fits within the insurer’s requirements.
Trauma claims often involve specialist reports, medical imaging, test results and detailed clinical summaries. We assist you in gathering the information your insurer usually asks for and help you prepare it in a way that is clear and well-organised. This can make it easier to follow the insurer’s process and avoid delays caused by missing documents.
We explain each stage of the claim and outline what insurers typically consider when reviewing trauma-related evidence. If you want guidance on what your trauma policy covers or how to prepare your claim in Queensland, we can support you through the process.
Life Insurance
Life insurance claims can arise after a person’s death or when a terminal illness diagnosis meets the definition in a policy. Families often face a large amount of paperwork at a time when clarity is needed most. We help you understand what the insurer requires and how to approach the claim in a steady, organised way.
These claims usually involve documents such as death certificates, medical records, proof of identity and policy information. We assist you in collecting and presenting these materials so the insurer has what it needs to assess the claim. Our focus is to reduce the administrative burden and guide you through each step with clear explanations.
Understanding policy definitions and timeframes is important, especially when several parties or superannuation funds are involved. If you need support navigating a life insurance claim in Queensland or want help preparing the necessary documents, we’re available to guide you.
