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.

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.

I was walking to work when a car ran a red light and crashed into me. I would have been lost without my solicitor to guide me through the claims process and help me uncover all my entitlements that I may have missed out on. I’m so grateful I had my claim checked!

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
