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 would like to thank Law Partners for all their help and support through out my claim. Every member of Law Partners from start to finish were so helpful, and went above and beyond keeping me updated and well informed of any changes.

Very professional team that kept my best interest and what would be best for me at all times in mind. Cannot thank them enough; would highly recommend them in an instant.

Made me feel like part of their family. Thanks for everything again guys.

Tina was warm, empathetic and very knowledgeable. She made me feel seen and heard and patiently explained and informed me of rights I didn’t even know I had. I’m very grateful.

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.

The support and advice we have received from Law Partners in relation to workers compensation has been invaluable. They have answered every question and set us on the correct path. They have shown compassion and understanding in what has been a difficult situation. Tina could not have been more supportive. We would highly recommend them for any similar situation.

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 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.

Thank you for the final paperwork and the transfer of funds into my account. After my car accident I was advised by my grandson’s girlfriend who is a solicitor, to get the services of a compensation law firm. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending your company to anyone who might need a law firm in the future.

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
