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 by doctors, specialists, surgeons and hospitals

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.

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

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.

Birth injuries and defects

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.

Cosmetic surgery negligence

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.

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.

This company has been very good to me in trying to get me some resources from the company where I was hurt or injured they have been very good in contacting me and they seem very knowledgeable of what they doing especially the younger lady Sarah King she is a brilliant Solicitor I would have her beside me any day to fight for me.

Unfortunately The company that I had the injury with are stating they have no information or records or video now of the accident so I have to withdraw my case because of them stating they have no information or records on my case but they’re not telling the truth because it really happened and I can’t fight goliath I’m only the little person needless to say Sarah has been really wonderful in trying to fight goliath for me so if anyone ever needs to have a good representation of a solicitor I recommend this company very very well it’s just a shame I have had to withdraw through the people saying where the accident happened they have no record it never happened but it did.

This company is a great company for people who have all the proof they need to pursue their accident case highly recommend this company

I’m writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and incredibly competent services.
The help, support and guidance I’ve had from Angy Basal has been second to none! Not only has my injury claim taken place whilst I had to move back overseas, but it was negotiated and mediated seamlessly though-out, even being in complete opposite time zones! Making the seemingly impossible, possible..I will forever be grateful for your determination and kindness, thank you so much Angy!

My benefits were cut off because my injuries were deemed as minor by the insurer. However, I still required a lot of treatment and time off work. My husband suggested I use the free claim check and I’m so grateful he did. My solicitor challenged the decision and had my benefits reinstated!

I just called Law Partners for some free advice, I was feeling a bit confused by the system and didn’t know if I was eligible for compensation. I was totally blown away by the support and guidance they offered me, turns out I was able to claim benefits to help with my recovery and support my family. They were so thorough I’m confident I would have missed out if I had tried to do it myself.

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?

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
