Whether it results from the negligence of another person and/or entity, if you have sustained an injury or developed an illness or disease that interrupts and/or prevents you from working, you may be entitled to claim disability insurance that you may have in place privately and/or via your superannuation.
Such an entitlement is commonly referred to an income protection insurance / salary continuance benefit and total and permanent disability insurance.
In the event you have sustained an injury or developed an illness or disease that interrupts your ability to work, we can assist you to easily identify whether you have any disability insurance in place and, if so, provide you with expert advice in respect to the contractual terms you must satisfy to apply for and be entitled to receive such insurance.
In the event you are considered totally and permanently disabled, you will likely also be entitled to immediately access your accumulated superannuation contributions, irrespective of your age.
As there are financial implications, potentially including tax implications, associated with accessing disability insurance and accumulated superannuation contributions, it is important you seek legal and financial advice.
If you need help understanding your rights and what to do next, we can provide assistance, advice and representation for disability insurance and superannuation applications.
