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.

Domenique is so lovely, patient and understanding. Her advice is clear, supportive and encouraging. Even her voice is calming! I am so grateful to have found Law Partners and that I got a no-bias, no-judgement treatment from Domenique, which I am hopeful to have from her colleagues as well. Thank you very much, and all the best!

I have contacted Law Partners long after my accident as I was not aware of this process. I met Lydia in the city office. She was nice, helpful and supportive. Lydia and her team helped me through the entire journey. Communication with the team was great and smooth, responses of my email was very fast. They guided me well with their vast experiences. Thank you for all the support.

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.

My lawyer Elyse Bonnici and her team were an absolute dream to deal with. Nothing was ever to much trouble, no matter how many questions I ask, it was never too many. She made me feel like I was THE most important case she was dealing with.

She dealt with me in a professional, friendly and caring manner. I would highly recommend Law Partners, especially Elyse.

I would like to thank Law Partners for their utmost support throughout the entire claim process. I was very reluctant to see a solicitor for my workers compensation claim due to previous experiences with other Law Firms but with Law Partners I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Each and every staff member that I have corresponded to have been so kind, compassionate and empathetic towards me and provided their best support and assistance in making such a smooth transition. A special thanks to Layla Rae and Angy Basal for all their dedicated work they have put in during the entire process, without me spending a single cent out of my pocket.

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
