Maximum compensation.
A more personal approach to your cosmetic surgery claim.
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 cosmetic surgery lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.

We’ll 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 we 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.
Frequently asked questions.
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.
