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:

Car accident injuries

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, as a driver, rider, passenger or pedestrian, Law Partners’ specialist car accident lawyers can help you claim compensation including lump sum payouts for more serious injuries.

Work injuries

If you’ve been injured, become sick or developed a psychological illness while doing your job, we’ll help you claim the full workers compensation benefits and lump sums you’re entitled to. We’ll also let you know if you’re entitled to any other benefits, such as a TPD lump sum.

Injuries in public places and buildings

Common accidents in public places include slips, trips and falls, and other accidents caused by unsafe or poorly maintained facilities. If you’ve been injured in a public place, shop or rental property, speak to one of our specialist lawyers to find out how much you can claim.

Medical negligence

Medical negligence occurs in a range of situations – like hospital stays, specialist treatment, cosmetic surgery, GP and dentist visits. If you’ve been injured or become ill due to negligence by a medical professional, we’ll tell you whether you can claim compensation then help you get the maximum payout.

Total and permanent disability claims

If you’re unable to work due to injury or illness, you may be able to make a lump sum claim through your super fund. We can review your super funds for you and tell you how much you can claim, and our specialist TPD lawyers will make sure you receive your full lump sum entitlements.

Senior Associate

My philosophy is simple, no two clients are ever the same, which is why it’s so imperative to take the time to listen and understand each client’s story. Without doing so, it’s almost impossible to achieve an optimal outcome – which is what every client deserves.

I have the upmost respect and admiration for Law Partners Personal Injury Lawyers – Sydney. They are all such a beautiful bunch and very calming and welcoming when you meet them. They were in constant contact with me throughout my claim, kept me up to date as soon as something came up and I never felt like I was a burden to them. They go out of their way to provide you with 100% care and understanding and go beyond their expectations to get a great outcome for you. Nothing was a problem to them, not even my silly questions.
HIGHLY recommend these guys if ever a need arises for a Personal Injury Lawyer. They are definitely there for you and truly do what is best for you.

I am lucky enough to have Angy Basal and Georgia McPherson on my side all the way through to my worker compensation claim. Since they took over my case, I never worried about legal side. Very professional and very easy to reach and understand a situation really well and finally they have won a legal battle with my insurer.

I will highly recommend Law Partners to those who are struggling with legal battles with insurance or with their employer. Thanks very much for treating me with dignity and respect.

Zulqarnain Ahmad gave Law Partners a

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.

Sophie Cook was fantastic to speak to and the best first impression I could have asked for. Thorough, empathetic and informative about my options and entitlements. Sophie made me feel positive about my matter when I thought my situation was not good.

Thanks again Sophie.

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
