Insurance Scandal: Have You Had an Insurance Claim Rejected?

If you have had a TPD, trauma, life insurance or other insurance claim rejected by CommInsure or another Australian insurer, seek legal advice and review your entitlements.

The Story

It has been alleged that CommInsure, an insurer with four million policies in Australia, has engaged in unethical practices to reject or deny claims, including people who are suffering from debilitating or terminal illnesses. Read more here and here.

Your claim

If you have had an insurance claim rejected, it may be necessary to review your entitlements with an experienced lawyer.

If you have a current claim with CommInsure or another insurer, you should also seek legal advice.

Insurance claims include Total Permanent Disability (TPD), trauma, life insurance, personal injury and other relevant claims.

Insurers

Every insurer has a different management process and unfortunately some routinely reject, delay or make the process difficult for claimants.

A potential senate inquiry may lead to greater scrutiny of insurers, which we welcome.

Seek advice

A specialist lawyer understands the claims process, including what is fair and what isn’t, and can guide you through.

Your lawyer will know whether a settlement offer is in your best interests, and if a rejected claim is unreasonable. The lawyer will then help you take further action if necessary.
