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.

I would like to personally thank my Solicitor Andrew Joy and his team Kylie and Gabby at Law Partners for representing me in my case. They kept me informed throughout the whole process, by email and verbal telephone calls.

From the very first contact with Andrew I knew that he has my back and would work very hard on my case.

I want to thank Andrew for being extremely professional since we connected and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to anyone in need of their services.

I have spent the last 3 days trying to find someone to help me during the most difficult & stressful time of my life. No one would help as they said it was too hard or too far along in the case to pick it up! Sophie was kind, genuine, honest & informative. She gave me generous time & ensured I would receive the best possible outcome. Thank you.

Vanessa Forsyth gave Law Partners a

First of all I would like to thanks Minaa, Vicky and Sakeena for guiding me through all the process of claim without any hassle. Although my claim was quite bit tough as I don’t have recollection of the accident, they manage to find out all the relevant evidence in order to dispute the insurer decision claiming me as fault. Their advice and guidance throughout the process always make me more comfortable and confidence to get the best possible outcomes. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the outcome of the claim as the claim has been settled with more than my expected amount. All of the team members from Law Partners are cooperative so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend law partners for anyone needing help with personal injury claims.

Andrew and Kylie have been amazing, they always go above and beyond with their service. I was having a really bad time with my workers compensation claim. I was referred to Law Partners, they fought for my rights and made the insurance company accountable. I finally had my surgery which I needed to help me recover.

I look forward to working with them in the future on other aspects of my claim. This team really cares! You are not treated like a number… unlike the insurance companies.

Thanks to Law Partners for everything I feel safe and secure knowingly I can trust they are looking out for me always. Highly recommend for their professional, quick and responsive service. Like I said Exceptional Service!!!

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
