A more personal approach to your cosmetic surgery claim in NSW.

Cosmetic surgery is one of the least regulated areas of treatment. But even procedures performed by highly qualified plastic and reconstructive surgeons can result in poor surgical outcomes and the need for corrective surgery.

We’ve helped many people claim compensation for cosmetic or plastic surgery that’s gone wrong, but we understand your situation is unique, and 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 NSW cosmetic surgery lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.

Our cosmetic surgery negligence lawyers will get you more compensation.

Complications caused by cosmetic surgery that’s gone wrong often mean time off work, unplanned 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 surgery. 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 our NSW cosmetic surgery lawyers can help you.

Your 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 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 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.


Cosmetic surgery claim FAQs.

In NSW, you must lodge your statement of claim within three years of the claim being discoverable. However, long-stop periods and considerations can be given to children and people with disabilities. If you’ve exceeded a time limitation, it may be possible for us to argue that the injury was not discoverable until a later date. You can speak with one of our specialist cosmetic surgery lawyers to get advice on your situation.

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.

Cosmetic surgery compensation claims can be complex, so it’s important to get good advice and engage the services of a specialist cosmetic surgery lawyer. Your lawyer will engage one or more medical experts who have experience in cosmetic surgery errors to carry out assessments, review your medical records and provide a report detailing how your treatment was negligent.

We’ll manage this process for you, and we’ll cover the medical experts’ costs, so you won’t have to pay anything out of your own pocket.

If your negligence claim is denied by the insurer, we then commence proceedings to take the matter to mediation. It’s at this stage that most claims are resolved and a settlement (i.e. a medical negligence payout to you) is agreed upon. In the minority of cases where a settlement isn’t reached, we’ll advise you about taking your claim to court to pursue compensation.

Lydia and her team did an amazing job helping me with my CTP claim. They showed compassion and empathy and treated me with respect, and explained the process to me and were always happy to answer any question I had. I can not thank them enough. If you’re looking for someone to handle your legal needs I 100% recommend them. Thank you again.

My benefits were cut off because my injuries were deemed as minor by the insurer. However, I still required a lot of treatment and time off work. My husband suggested I use the free claim check and I’m so grateful he did. My solicitor challenged the decision and had my benefits reinstated!

I was reluctant at first to put a claim in but I contacted Law Partners and was called back by Elyse to have a chat. From that moment on, Elyse, Brooke & Sarah have been brilliant. They have answered all my questions straight away, explained everything in detail, given me all the different options available and in the end, resolved my matter with a positive outcome. It has been a very pleasant experience working with them and I would gladly recommend Law Partners, Elyse and her team. Thank you!

I highly recommend Law Partners because this law firm is the best of what they do. I am grateful and blessed to have found such a compassionate, helpful, attentive, reliable, timely and kind lawyers in this firm. Shifa and her team were very thorough, competent, efficient, and listens to understand. Shifa made my life better as she is able to expedite everything from the time she took my case & settled it in less than 2 months because she understand the kind of personality I have as a person & in my professional career whereas I always want everything done efficiently in the quickest time possible without leaving any stones unturned. She responds to my emails almost a few minutes after receiving it, she kept me informed & she made sure we are always on the same page. I may not get my life back pre-injury but she worked hard behind the scene to ensure I am well compensated. It’s quite rare to find lawyers nowadays that got your back 100% without much incentives. I involved Law Partners in mid August and have my case settled in mid October which is a testament to their efficiency & commitment to their clients! I can’t thank Shifa enough & her paralegal Xanthe for everything they did for me. Forever grateful!

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.

Gillian and her team were fantastic to deal with from day 1. They stay in constant contact with me and kept me informed of the steps and progress.

Got the outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend Law Partners.

I was shocked when my initial assessment came back as minor but I was too overwhelmed at the time to dispute it. Something in my gut told me to get a second opinion and I’m so relieved I did. I almost missed out of a lump sum payment which has helped so much with my recovery.

Yasmine Jawar and Mimi Tuco, what a welcoming light of hope you were for my family and I. I recommend this firm to any person dealing with a Psychological injury in the work place.

Yasmine was not only understanding of my injury but calm. No Matter how many times I emailed or rang over the past year my own concerns were always met with emotional support and sincerity.

We have a long way to go but have progressed with already great results. A Psychological injury is never easy, but this firm fought for me and my family and keep doing so. My family and I are forever grateful for all the effort and support received.
