A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.

What can I claim?

It’s hard enough to cope with an unexpected injury – you shouldn’t have to deal with financial pain too. Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to payments for lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses, domestic assistance, pain and suffering, permanent impairment, and future losses. Call us for free advice on how much you can claim.

Common claims include:

Negligent treatment is when an injury, illness or worsening of a condition has occurred as a result of medical treatment that was below the expected standard of care. If you’ve suffered medical problems or losses due to negligent treatment, it’s likely you can sue your doctor for medical negligence and claim compensation.

This usually involves actions or inactions that lead to delays in administration of appropriate and timely treatment, or administration of incorrect treatment or no treatment at all. If you believe that you’re a victim of medical negligence as a result of misdiagnosis or a delay in diagnosis, you may be entitled to damages.

If birth injuries or defects could have been prevented by the treating medical practitioner by exercising reasonable skill and care, then you may be able to make a medical negligence claim. We’ll help you claim everything you’re entitled to.

To determine whether you can sue your plastic or cosmetic surgeon, we need to first determine whether the surgeon breached their duty of care. If your cosmetic or plastic surgery has gone wrong, our specialist medical negligence solicitors can review your situation and advise you on whether you have a strong claim.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do.

Here’s what they say about us.

Very satisfied with the outcome of my claim. Gillian, Melissa and all staff I dealt during my case were professional and caring and did an amazing job dealing with an insurance company to get me a fair compensation payout. So glad I chose Law Partners as otherwise, I would have given up in frustration and not been compensated for time lost at work due to someone else’s negligence. Recommend them highly.

Jacob and Ben Loveridge have been very helpful throughout my case

They have provided me with so much support and have always been present to help me in every way possible

They are good at their job and I hope others can benefit from their support

I was in a bad MVA more than two years ago (it was even in the news a few times). Now I can compare Law Partners’ service philosophy to the first law firm that took over my case (which, thank God, I changed), and there is a significant difference: Tanja Maksimovic, Alexander Le Hoang, and Jessica Terre have been realistic, clear, empathetic, communicative, and honest from the beginning… everything you need when you don’t understand legal processes in a different country, with English as a second language, and not even being Australian! The worst setting for feeling vulnerable and lost after the worst experience of your life. I understand that this case will take some time, but I can perceive the team working, progressing, and fighting for me. They keep me updated, I feel legally supported, and I actually look forwards to Alexander’s phone calls… he’s very friendly!

I have been very fortunate to have picked a team which shows professionalism and caring about a very personal matter giving always there time even out of the working hours to care about someone and show that it’s more than just a matter.

They have made my problem much more easier to deal with and have shown me the respect in continuous follow-ups to make me understand and deal with this matter in a much easier way without Angy and Chantille it would be very hard road to take. Thank you for caring and thank you for making me feel important in such a hard situation.

My experience with this business for the last two in a half years, in particular Angy Basal, Layla Rae and Fernanda Magaldi, I wouldn’t have gotten very far if it wasn’t for these three ladies helping me throughout my whole ordeal.

I would definitely be back again in the future if I ever need any help. I wouldn’t have got anywhere with my Compensation case if I didn’t have Law Partners.
They got me through one of the toughest two in a half years of constant stress, and constant set backs with my injury.

And I am so glad I found law partners to help with my claim, they’ve been the biggest help for me throughout.

Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs help.

Thank you again ladies for your help!

My family and I would like to thank the Law Partners team for their valuable support during a difficult time for us. They were always willing to help and kept us updated throughout the whole claims process. We couldn’t have achieved such a great outcome without Law Partners on our side.

When I first called Law Partners I spoke to Michele Cheong. She made me feel so comfortable and so at ease that not once I stressed about my case. I was kept up to date with everything. I’m so happy with the outcome.

Thank you so much Michele and the team. Law Partners are amazing lawyers.

My husband and I spoke with James David. He patiently listened to our situation and was very understanding, asked the right questions and gave us various options to consider.

Thankfully, with James’ advice and support I was able to come to a financial settlement with the concerned party without the need to pursue it legally.

James still supported us through that process even though we hadn’t formally engaged Law Partners.

James was very responsive the whole time and communicated clearly and empathetically. I wouldn’t hesitate engaging James in future should the need arise and would recommend Law Partners. If you think you have a claim it’s certainly worth giving them a call.

Shanelle's story

Shanelle's story

I didn't choose to seek compensation, I needed to

When department manager and devoted mother Shanelle was refused surgery for her injury, she turned to us for help.

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s just good to know that there are people out there who actually care that I’m injured. And that’s what Law Partners is about – they care.”


Frequently asked questions.

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.

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.

  • We get to know you. We’ll get to know you personally, listen to your side of the story and give you free advice on your options.
  • We ask more questions. We’ll look beyond the obvious and see if your injuries have led to other complications, to claim everything you’re entitled to.
  • We build the evidence. Led by your lawyer, your dedicated team including hand-picked medical specialists will build strong evidence to maximise your claim.
  • We pursue your claim. We win over 99% of our cases and we’ll fight until you receive the compensation you’re entitled to and deserve.
  • You receive your compensation. Your compensation will be paid into your bank account.

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
