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 birth trauma compensation 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.

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 liked the way how Tanja Maksimovic and Jessica Terre worked on the CTP and TPD Claim Process. Very quick work and whenever I need help regarding these two claims, their response was very clear. I am very much happy with their work.

Law Partners Personal Injury Lawyers is highly recommended, especially Tanja Maksimovic and Jessica Terre when it comes to the CTP and TPD process.

Thank you and all your staff for the help you have provided in these trying times. I was feeling pretty negative about my future but after my first meeting with my lawyer I knew I had someone on my side who really wanted to help me. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending you to anyone who needs your services.

Just want to give a big thanks to Natalie Pawlikowski and her team at Law Partners, for helping me thru out my compensation claim, even though it went much for a much longer time period than originally estimated, but in the end, I finally got the results I was looking for.

It was great to know that Natalie and her team were with me all the way till the end, thanks Natalie & your team, I hope you’re there again when I need you for the next time.

I first came across Law Partners after a Google search and seeing their many awards for Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year. I decided to make contact with Law Partners to assist me with a claim for multiple psychological injuries sustained in my workplace. From my first meeting to now being further down the line with my claim, Law Partners have been very professional, compassionate & understanding of my situation guiding me gently through the process, explaining things very clearly that I had no trouble in understanding. A special shout out to Lauren Bergan & Jasmine Dean who are in my corner working extremely hard to ensure I receive maximum compensation & that organisations are held to account for mistreating their staff. I still have a way to go with my claim but having Lauren & Jasmine with me makes me feel more confident about the situation. I can highly recommend Law Partners to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to myself. I award them 5 stars out of 5 stars! Well done Law Partners, keep fighting for us injured workers.
