Birth injury negligence FAQs.

Making a birth negligence compensation claim seems like a big step. Should I do it?

We understand that making a claim against a medical practitioner is a big decision, and one that may be causing you some stress.

Remember that when you claim compensation, you’re seeking a settlement from the insurer of the hospital or specialist to compensate you for your losses. It’s a settlement you’re entitled to and deserve to receive if you’ve been harmed through negligence.

If you’re having trouble deciding, you’re welcome to simply call one of our birth injury lawyers and have a confidential conversation. There’s no pressure or obligation to proceed with a claim if you’re not ready, and we’ll always be here if you need us.

How do no win no fee medical negligence lawyers work?

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.

What are the potential consequences of birth injuries?

Unfortunately, gynaecological and pregnancy-related injuries frequently occur as a result of inattention, inexperience or unavailability of the treating medical practitioners in clinics and hospitals. The consequences for these injuries are often devastating, as they often cause significant physical and psychological damage, and sometimes totally debilitate the mother so that she’s unable to bond with and care for her new-born baby. These injuries can lead to breakdowns of relationships and have psychological effects on other family members. Seeking compensation can’t replace everything you’ve lost, but it can provide significant financial relief so that you can focus on your own wellbeing.

I was honored to work with Law Partners and to have met Ajla. She helped me with previous employment issues that were very stressful. She was very generous with her time and was always caring and compassionate. And she really strived to get us the end result we desired and had thought was near impossible. She and Law Partners renewed our faith in the Legal System and humanity in general. Thank you Ajla.

First of all I would like to thanks Minaa, Vicky and Sakeena for guiding me through all the process of claim without any hassle. Although my claim was quite bit tough as I don’t have recollection of the accident, they manage to find out all the relevant evidence in order to dispute the insurer decision claiming me as fault. Their advice and guidance throughout the process always make me more comfortable and confidence to get the best possible outcomes. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the outcome of the claim as the claim has been settled with more than my expected amount. All of the team members from Law Partners are cooperative so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend law partners for anyone needing help with personal injury claims.

I am writing this to express my most sincere thanks to the most professional representatives from Law Partners, my Solicitor Sarah Starnovsky along with Sarah Kabbout. I cannot even begin to explain how much help and guidance was provided by them throughout my stressful journey.
I contacted Law Partners long after my accident as I was not aware of this process. My Solicitor Sarah and her team guided me in every step with a very professional approach and offered me advice and encouragement throughout tremendously. Sarah and her team always stepped in to help when I needed them the most throughout the process.
I am so grateful and relieved to have reached my settlement and it couldn’t have been accomplished without these wonderful legal expertise.
I will strongly recommend Sarah and her team for those who need professional legal support as I am extremely happy that she has represented me through which was very long, exhausting and toughest period.
Thank you so much and wish you all the best in future.
