How much do lawyers charge for TPD claims?

When it comes to making a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim, one of the first questions you might have is, ‘How much will it cost?’.

Generally speaking, TPD claims vary in cost depending on the severity of your injuries and the complexity of your claim. At Monaco, we get that dealing with a permanent injury, lost income, and mounting bills is overwhelming — that’s why we offer our industry-leading TPD Fee Guarantee.

Your fees are fixed before we start work on your claim, and there are no extra charges or last-minute surprises. We also cover the cost of all expert evidence and provide access to our in-house team of medical professionals to assist with your claim.

Read on to learn what our TPD Fee guarantee means for you.

How much do lawyers charge for TPD claims?

No Win No Fee

We believe that everyone deserves an expert TPD lawyer, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we handle all TPD claims on a genuine ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

While many law firms claim to be ‘No Win No Fee’, that usually only covers their legal fees. This means if your claim is unsuccessful, you’ll still need to pay for medical reports, evidence and all other costs.

But at Monaco, we cover every single cost related to your claim — so if we don’t secure your TPD benefit, you won’t owe us a cent.

Fixed fees

Many law firms charge by the hour, which can leave you anxious about how much your TPD claim will cost. At Monaco, we think that’s unfair — especially when you’re already dealing with serious injury and financial strain. That’s why we offer fixed fees on all TPD claims.

You’ll know exactly how much your claim will cost from the start, and there are no surprise charges or hidden fees. No matter how long the process takes or how many questions you have, you can rest assured the cost stays the same.

No upfront costs

We never want you to be out-of-pocket for your claim, so we’ll take care of all the upfront costs. These include:

  • Investigation: we don’t charge anything to investigate your claim.
  • Expert evidence: we’ll engage the right experts to support your case, such as medical professionals and rehabilitation specialists.
  • Medical tests: we’ll cover the cost of any medical assessments required to fully understand the extent of your injuries.
  • Court fees: we handle all fees that arise during the legal process, including court costs and admin fees.

With us covering every expense, there’s no need to dip into your savings or take on debt to fund your TPD claim. And if your claim’s unsuccessful, there’s absolutely nothing to pay.

A national network of experts

A key part of any successful TPD claim is gathering solid medical evidence. That’s why we have a national network of medical experts who work exclusively on TPD claims, including specialists, surgeons, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, and rehabilitation providers.

These specialists work with our lawyers to fully understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll your injuries have taken. This level of detailed care is key to getting your full TPD benefit.

The best part? We cover the costs of all these experts, and you only pay if we win your case.

A 30-day risk-free trial

We want you to feel completely confident working with us, so we offer a 30-day risk-free trial for all TPD claims. This gives you time to evaluate our services and see if we’re the right fit for your case. If you decide to cancel anytime during those 30 days, you won’t be charged a thing.

Why choose Monaco for my TPD claim?

From thoroughly investigating your policy to handling tough negotiations with insurers, our TPD team has the skills and experience to secure your full benefit. As part of your comprehensive service, you can expect:

  • A dedicated TPD team: while most law firms handle TPD claims as part of a broader practice, we have a dedicated team that is 100% focused on TPD claims. This specialisation means we understand the ins and outs of TPD law better than anyone else and will ensure your claim is resolved as quickly as possible.
  • More compensation: we don’t just go through the motions — we’re proactive in getting the maximum compensation for you. On top of securing your full TPD benefit, we’ll find all your additional claims like workers compensation or common law damages. Often, these claims are worth much more than your TPD claim alone.

But at Monaco, we have the financial muscle to handle your TPD claim from start to finish, no matter how complex or costly it gets.
