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.

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 would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my solicitor and the other Law Partners’ staff who assisted my children and myself since our car accident in 2012. I am certain that any positive and useful result would not have been achieved without your efforts, assistance and dedication to our cases.

Sophie Cook was fantastic to speak to and the best first impression I could have asked for. Thorough, empathetic and informative about my options and entitlements. Sophie made me feel positive about my matter when I thought my situation was not good.

Thanks again Sophie.

Greetings, I’m Usman. In 2019, I experienced an accident while under workers comp. Over the span of four years, Mimi, Caitlin, and Yasmine from the Law Partners team provided invaluable assistance in navigating my dealings with Icare. Their support led to an exceptional experience, securing all necessary approvals, including surgeries. Subsequently, Minaa, Vicky, and Sakeena from CTP facilitated an outstanding outcome with my claim, displaying consistently prompt responses and diligent pursuit of every matter. Overall, I couldn’t recommend a better company. Learn from my experience: before initiating any claim or filling out any form, consult with Law Partners. This is where I made mistakes by downplaying my injuries.

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.

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
