Chantille Khoury

Principal

Many lawyers have the technical ability to run a successful case but being able to connect with your client through a personal approach is what separates the great lawyers from the good lawyers. And it’s this combination that my team and I bring to every case.

Striving to secure maximum compensation should be a given. For me, the measure of a great personal injury solicitor is the ability to truly understand the impact of the client’s injury in order to ultimately help them get their life back on track.

Antonela Josipovic

Senior Associate

My philosophy is simple, no two clients are ever the same, which is why it’s so imperative to take the time to listen and understand each client’s story. Without doing so, it’s almost impossible to achieve an optimal outcome – which is what every client deserves.

Michele Cheong

Practice Group Leader

Most of our clients have suffered a sudden injury, so what they don’t need from their legal representative is more nasty surprises. This is why I’m always upfront and honest with all my clients, so they know exactly what to expect during the compensation process.

I have contacted Law Partners long after my accident as I was not aware of this process. I met Lydia in the city office. She was nice, helpful and supportive. Lydia and her team helped me through the entire journey. Communication with the team was great and smooth, responses of my email was very fast. They guided me well with their vast experiences. Thank you for all the support.

This is my first time ever needing representation in a workplace event, to say I was nervous is an understatement. From the moment I contacted Law Partners, Sophie was incredible, she put my mind at ease, was efficient and compassionate. I would highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t know the steps to take in actioning a claim, or just needs advice to contact Sophie, all the anxiety is lifted and they take care of everything. Thank you so much.

The most professional and caring law firm that I have ever dealt with. Mr. Kiran Malai and his team have continuously proven to me that they actually genuinely cared about my case, which meant a lot to me. They have always provided me with professional and practical advice and answered all my questions in a simple way that I could understand. A highly recommended law firm. A big thank you to you, Mr. Malai and your excellent team members.

Just want to give a big thanks to Natalie Pawlikowski and her team at Law Partners, for helping me thru out my compensation claim, even though it went much for a much longer time period than originally estimated, but in the end, I finally got the results I was looking for.

It was great to know that Natalie and her team were with me all the way till the end, thanks Natalie & your team, I hope you’re there again when I need you for the next time.

Law Partners have been a great firm to deal with. The process and communication was excellent from the beginning as well as a great outcome in the end. I would definitely recommend them with a special thanks to Kiran and the entire team.

Dealing with law partners has been a pleasure. I asked them if I had a TPD claim and we went through the process and they found an Income Protection claim in the process and as professional as they are they were both approved. Now my standard of living has improved for many years to come and I could not recommend Katelyn and Sia enough. I am one very happy client 5 star performance thank you!

OUTSTANDING!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank very much Shifa and Xanthe for their hard work.

In this really stressful time for me the way I have been kept informed and have been explained the different steps has been amazing. The patience and understanding you also shown is way more than I could have asked for.

It’s hard for me really to put into words how much I appreciate and respect the both of you.

Thank you so very much!

Frequently asked questions.

Can I claim compensation?

If you’ve been injured in an accident and incurred any treatment costs or had any time off work to recover, you’re more than likely to be eligible to claim compensation. Or if you’re unable to work because of injury or illness, then you may be able to claim a lump sum payout though your super fund.

What can I claim for?

Depending on your injuries and how they happened, you may be able to claim compensation for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses and home help. You may also be entitled to lump sum payments for pain and suffering, permanent impairment, or future losses.

How long will my claim take?

Most personal injury claims settle within 9 to 18 months; however, some can take longer. The amount of time it takes to settle your claim is determined by:

How long it takes for your injuries to stabilise so that they can be assessed by medical experts
Whether the insurer accepts liability for your injuries
Whether we reach an agreed settlement with the insurer quickly
If we don’t reach a settlement with the insurer and need to litigate the matter, it can take longer than 18 months
