A more personal approach to birth injury compensation.
If you’ve been injured as a result of negligence by your treating obstetrician, gynaecologist, midwife or other medical practitioners, it’s likely you can claim compensation.
We’ve helped many mothers get compensation for birth injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.
There’s no cost to speak to a birth injury lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.
We’ll get you more compensation.
Complications caused by birth or obstetric injuries to mothers often mean unplanned time off work, expenses and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before your injury. We look beyond your injury, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners on your side.

How we can help you.
Your birth injury lawyer will assess your situation and form an opinion on whether you have a valid claim.
We’ll go through your medical records to determine whether they support an allegation of birth medical negligence.
We’ll consult one or more qualified medical professionals and get written reports to back up the allegation of negligence.
Once we’ve established the likelihood of success with your claim, we’ll advise you on your options.
If you decide to proceed, we’ll prepare your claim by compiling all of the evidence needed including medical records, witness statements, medical reports and forensic accounting reports to substantiate your claim. All backed by our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee.
You’re in safe hands with Law Partners.

Frequently asked questions.
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.
