A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.
When a part of your placenta has not been fully delivered, it can lead to an infection that causes a serious health condition if it’s left untreated. Our expert lawyers can provide you with free compensation advice over the phone.
Surgery to remove a retained placenta can cause further complications if it’s conducted incorrectly, such as ongoing pain, infection, haemorrhaging, post-partum depression, or PTSD. Our expert lawyers are here to explain everything you’re entitled to.
A retained placenta can lead to dangerous haemorrhaging (blood loss), which can be life-threatening in severe cases. If negligent treatment is the cause, our specialist birth injury lawyers can advise on what you can claim.
It’s not uncommon to have your wisdom teeth removed if they’re causing you pain, but that pain should disappear after a few days. This wasn’t the case for Christine, whose surgery left her with a broken jaw and permanent nerve damage that completely turned her world upside down.
Former nurse Regina suffered a horrific work assault that turned her world completely upside down. Her drive to regain control of her life is nothing short of inspiring.
A horrible 5 metre fall left former chef Terry with the unenviable decision to battle through infection or amputate his leg.

We’ll give you our compensation ‘no win no fee’ guarantee. You decide if you want to proceed – there’s no obligation.
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.
Medical negligence claims are complex, so it’s important to get good advice and engage the services of a specialist medical negligence lawyer. Your lawyer will engage one or more medical experts who have experience in medical negligence 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 medical 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.
You must lodge your claim within three years. But if it’s been more than three years, you should still speak to one of our medical negligence lawyers as exceptions can be made in some situations.
Even if you’ve spoken to another lawyer and been told you don’t have a claim, you can call us for a second opinion. Our medical negligence lawyers have successfully pursued many claims that were rejected by other lawyers.
