This can be difficult to prove, but our workers compensation lawyers can build the evidence to support your claim. Building the evidence may include:

  • Meeting with you and your family to gain a detailed understanding of your situation
  • Interviews with your work colleagues and management
  • Medical and psychological assessments
  • Compiling witness statements

I am very pleased with the services provided by Law Partners and would highly recommend their service. Minaa and Vicky are incredibly professional and are ready to go beyond expectations. Thank you very much.

Minaa is an incredible Lawyer with patience and compassion and always has a sense of urgency in responding to queries. Communication was always clear and professional and I have always felt looked after.

Initially I was hesitant to go down a legal matter but my experience with Law Partners has made me feel very supported. Minaa and Vicky have worked hard to ensure a best possible outcome on my behalf to settle my case. I am very grateful for all the efforts made from the team and a special thank you to Minaa and Vicky.

I was walking to work when a car ran a red light and crashed into me. I would have been lost without my solicitor to guide me through the claims process and help me uncover all my entitlements that I may have missed out on. I’m so grateful I had my claim checked!

When my husbands old TPD lawyer said she couldn’t help us anymore and closed our claim, Shane Butcher and Mark Saunders took on his claim and got my husband the money he was entitled to. Law Partners helped us through one of the most difficult times in our lives and we are very grateful.

Andrew and Kylie have been amazing, they always go above and beyond with their service. I was having a really bad time with my workers compensation claim. I was referred to Law Partners, they fought for my rights and made the insurance company accountable. I finally had my surgery which I needed to help me recover.

I look forward to working with them in the future on other aspects of my claim. This team really cares! You are not treated like a number… unlike the insurance companies.

Thanks to Law Partners for everything I feel safe and secure knowingly I can trust they are looking out for me always. Highly recommend for their professional, quick and responsive service. Like I said Exceptional Service!!!

I am lucky enough to have Angy Basal and Georgia McPherson on my side all the way through to my worker compensation claim. Since they took over my case, I never worried about legal side. Very professional and very easy to reach and understand a situation really well and finally they have won a legal battle with my insurer.

I will highly recommend Law Partners to those who are struggling with legal battles with insurance or with their employer. Thanks very much for treating me with dignity and respect.
