How our NSW birth injury lawyers can help you.

Your birth injury lawyer will listen and assess whether you have a valid claim, and if so we’ll examine your medical records to determine whether they support an allegation of birth medical negligence.

We’ll then consult one or more qualified medical professionals and get expert written reports to back up the allegation of negligence.

Once we’ve established the likelihood of success with your birth trauma compensation claim, we’ll sit down with you and advise you on all your options.

If you decide to proceed, we’ll prepare your claim by compiling evidence including medical records, witness statements, medical reports, and forensic accounting reports to substantiate your claim.


Birth injury negligence FAQs.

We understand that making a claim against a medical practitioner is a big decision, and one that may be causing you some stress.

Remember that when you claim compensation, you’re seeking a settlement from the insurer of the hospital or specialist to compensate you for your losses. It’s a settlement you’re entitled to and deserve to receive if you’ve been harmed through negligence.

If you’re having trouble deciding, you’re welcome to simply call one of our birth injury lawyers and have a confidential conversation. There’s no pressure or obligation to proceed with a claim if you’re not ready, and we’ll always be here if you need us.

A no win no fee medical negligence lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, gynaecological and pregnancy-related injuries frequently occur as a result of inattention, inexperience or unavailability of the treating medical practitioners in clinics and hospitals. The consequences for these injuries are often devastating, as they often cause significant physical and psychological damage, and sometimes totally debilitate the mother so that she’s unable to bond with and care for her new-born baby. These injuries can lead to breakdowns of relationships and have psychological effects on other family members. Seeking compensation can’t replace everything you’ve lost, but it can provide significant financial relief so that you can focus on your own wellbeing.

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.

I just called Law Partners for some free advice, I was feeling a bit confused by the system and didn’t know if I was eligible for compensation. I was totally blown away by the support and guidance they offered me, turns out I was able to claim benefits to help with my recovery and support my family. They were so thorough I’m confident I would have missed out if I had tried to do it myself.

I liked the way how Tanja Maksimovic and Jessica Terre worked on the CTP and TPD Claim Process. Very quick work and whenever I need help regarding these two claims, their response was very clear. I am very much happy with their work.

Law Partners Personal Injury Lawyers is highly recommended, especially Tanja Maksimovic and Jessica Terre when it comes to the CTP and TPD process.

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.

Thank you so much Gerald Fong and Emily at Law Partners, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Gerald was incredibly patient with me throughout the entire process, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain everything in a way that I could understand when he was helping me . His calm and understanding approach helped me feel at ease, even during the more stressful moments of my claim. Both he and Emily were always professional, compassionate, and responsive, making sure I felt supported and informed every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for the care and expertise they provided. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients, Gerald, Emily, and the team at Law Partners are exceptional. Thank you for everything Josh

This company has been very good to me in trying to get me some resources from the company where I was hurt or injured they have been very good in contacting me and they seem very knowledgeable of what they doing especially the younger lady Sarah King she is a brilliant Solicitor I would have her beside me any day to fight for me.

Unfortunately The company that I had the injury with are stating they have no information or records or video now of the accident so I have to withdraw my case because of them stating they have no information or records on my case but they’re not telling the truth because it really happened and I can’t fight goliath I’m only the little person needless to say Sarah has been really wonderful in trying to fight goliath for me so if anyone ever needs to have a good representation of a solicitor I recommend this company very very well it’s just a shame I have had to withdraw through the people saying where the accident happened they have no record it never happened but it did.

This company is a great company for people who have all the proof they need to pursue their accident case highly recommend this company

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!!!
