The fact that a surgical error or injury has occurred doesn’t necessarily mean your surgeon or specialist was negligent. However, in most surgical error cases, it’s relatively straightforward to establish whether you have a claim. We need to show that the treatment fell below the expected standard of care, and the surgical error was a preventable complication or there were errors or outcomes beyond the known inherent risks of the surgery.
Our medical negligence lawyers have extensive experience in this area, and there’s no cost speak to one of our lawyers and get advice on whether you can claim compensation.
Surgical errors and injuries often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But your situation is unique, and your injury or illness may have led to other health issues and complications. We’ll ask more questions and get to know you personally, to understand all your issues and their impact on your life. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with a Law Partners surgical negligence lawyer on your side.
Surgical errors can lead to a variety of consequences, leaving the patient with longstanding disabilities. Here are some examples of common claims:

A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.
Surgical negligence payouts range from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. Depending on the severity of your injuries, your total compensation amount can include:
Your surgery 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 surgical 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.
Your surgery lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. So you’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.
Surgical negligence claims are complex, so it’s important to get good advice and engage the services of a specialist surgery lawyer. Your lawyer will engage one or more medical experts who have experience in surgical 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 surgical malpractice 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.
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.
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 surgery injury lawyers have successfully pursued many claims that were rejected by other lawyers.
Caring for our clients drives everything we do – that’s why thousands of Australians every year choose Law Partners.

We’ll build a personal relationship with you and your family to make sure we understand the true impact of your injuries.
