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.

Here’s what they say about us.

Right from the start Law Partners were great to deal with. They were exceptional with their services all the way through the process and very supportive. Communicative, thorough and always understanding. Achieved the best possible outcome for my claim, and I would highly recommend their services. Special thanks to Helen and Lauren.

I highly recommend Law Partners because this law firm is the best of what they do. I am grateful and blessed to have found such a compassionate, helpful, attentive, reliable, timely and kind lawyers in this firm. Shifa and her team were very thorough, competent, efficient, and listens to understand. Shifa made my life better as she is able to expedite everything from the time she took my case & settled it in less than 2 months because she understand the kind of personality I have as a person & in my professional career whereas I always want everything done efficiently in the quickest time possible without leaving any stones unturned. She responds to my emails almost a few minutes after receiving it, she kept me informed & she made sure we are always on the same page. I may not get my life back pre-injury but she worked hard behind the scene to ensure I am well compensated. It’s quite rare to find lawyers nowadays that got your back 100% without much incentives. I involved Law Partners in mid August and have my case settled in mid October which is a testament to their efficiency & commitment to their clients! I can’t thank Shifa enough & her paralegal Xanthe for everything they did for me. Forever grateful!

I was reluctant at first to put a claim in but I contacted Law Partners and was called back by Elyse to have a chat. From that moment on, Elyse, Brooke & Sarah have been brilliant. They have answered all my questions straight away, explained everything in detail, given me all the different options available and in the end, resolved my matter with a positive outcome. It has been a very pleasant experience working with them and I would gladly recommend Law Partners, Elyse and her team. Thank you!

I really appreciate what Tanja and her team have done in taking my case, in supporting me in my difficult times and in encouraging me when I was down emotionally. I wouldn’t be able to go through the claim process without the help of Law Partners.

They’ve gone beyond my expectation. Their effort is greatly appreciated.

Lydia and her team did an amazing job helping me with my CTP claim. They showed compassion and empathy and treated me with respect, and explained the process to me and were always happy to answer any question I had. I can not thank them enough. If you’re looking for someone to handle your legal needs I 100% recommend them. Thank you again.

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
