We can help you contest your insurer's decision
If you're suffering through circumstances that require you to call upon your insurance policy, the last thing you want is for your insurer to reject your claim or otherwise make a decision that negatively impacts you.
We can help you dispute decisions made by your insurer across all types of insurance, including:
- Property insurance
- Business insurance
- Sickness and accident insurance
- Life insurance.
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD), income protection and trauma claims

Why was my claim rejected?
Generally, insurers give one of four reasons for rejecting claims:
Non-disclosure
You have a duty to disclose relevant information when you take out an insurance policy or when you renew it. If you did not provide accurate or comprehensive information at the requisite time, your insurer may be able to reject your claim.
Exclusion clauses
Due to certain clauses in your policy, your insurer may claim that the provisions do not cover your loss, damage or injury.
Fraud
If your insurer believes you have acted fraudulently in some way, they may cite fraud as the reason for rejecting your claim.
Policy cancellation
If your insurer cancelled your policy in the middle of the period of cover, this might be in response to additional information provided by you that increased their risk to an unacceptable level. Another reason could be that you have failed to pay the premium for the policy. For this reason, it's critical to keep an eye on your payments, even if you have set up a direct debit to deal with them.
Have a firm as big as the insurer on your side
Insurers are large and complex organisations, so it helps to have the support and resources of one of Australia's largest consumer law firms behind you when disputing their decisions.
As experienced insurance lawyers, we have an extensive understanding of the tactics which insurers use to reject claims or make decisions that adversely affect you. We can help you understand the terms in your policy and fight to get you the compensation you're entitled to.
