How our NSW dental negligence lawyers can help you.

Your dental negligence 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 dental 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.


Dental negligence claim FAQs.

Dental negligence claims can be complex, so it’s important to get good advice and engage the services of a specialist dental negligence lawyer. Your lawyer will engage one or more medical experts who have experience in dental 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 dental 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 dental 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.

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 dental negligence 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.

Rated 4.9 stars from Google reviews.

I lodged a complaint about bullying in the workplace. 78 pages of incidents I recorded, was deemed no evidence of bullying after investigations by the Insurance company. What a blessing for me to find Bianca Azzopardi to appeal the decision. Her professionalism, her fight for justice for me. With her help, the case is won. I sustained personal injury as a result of bullying and at the Personal Injury Tribunal, my ex employer is deemed the party that is wrong and the Tribunal ordered them to pay for compensation.

It was a very stressful time for me, and Bianca handled my case very professional and in the best of my interest . I can communicate with her any time. She replied promptly. She gives clear instructions.
During that very ‘dark’ time, when my ex-employer and the Insurance Company for Worker’s Comp denied bullying, I cannot describe to you how it feels hearing Bianca’s caring and reassuring voice, to send her my file of complaint and she will look after me.

Thank you Bianca, thank you for walking this journey with me.
I highly recommend Bianca.

My experience with this business for the last two in a half years, in particular Angy Basal, Layla Rae and Fernanda Magaldi, I wouldn’t have gotten very far if it wasn’t for these three ladies helping me throughout my whole ordeal.

I would definitely be back again in the future if I ever need any help. I wouldn’t have got anywhere with my Compensation case if I didn’t have Law Partners.
They got me through one of the toughest two in a half years of constant stress, and constant set backs with my injury.

And I am so glad I found law partners to help with my claim, they’ve been the biggest help for me throughout.

Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs help.

Thank you again ladies for your help!

My husband and I spoke with James David. He patiently listened to our situation and was very understanding, asked the right questions and gave us various options to consider.

Thankfully, with James’ advice and support I was able to come to a financial settlement with the concerned party without the need to pursue it legally.

James still supported us through that process even though we hadn’t formally engaged Law Partners.

James was very responsive the whole time and communicated clearly and empathetically. I wouldn’t hesitate engaging James in future should the need arise and would recommend Law Partners. If you think you have a claim it’s certainly worth giving them a call.

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.

What can I say? Absolutely amazing support and results from Lydia and her team at Law Partners. Dealing with an accident claim since 2019 and have had nothing but the best service.

I’d like to thank Lydia and the team for going above and beyond through the whole process of the claim. This will definitely help with the process of getting back on track with life after a traumatic accident.

Thank you again.

I would like to personally thank my Solicitor Andrew Joy and his team Kylie and Gabby at Law Partners for representing me in my case. They kept me informed throughout the whole process, by email and verbal telephone calls.

From the very first contact with Andrew I knew that he has my back and would work very hard on my case.

I want to thank Andrew for being extremely professional since we connected and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to anyone in need of their services.
