More personal, more compensation.
It’s an unfortunate reality that treatment doesn’t always go to plan, and even the most experienced surgeons and specialists sometimes get it wrong. If an error is made by your surgeon or specialist, the consequences can be significant, and you might be entitled to compensation.

Get started
Your surgical 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 surgical 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.
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.
Surgical and medical negligence payouts in Australia can be substantial, with some running into millions of dollars. If you think you might have a claim, you probably want to know whether your claim is likely to succeed and how much you’re entitled to. Looking at examples of other medical negligence compensation payouts can be a good way to get an indication.

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.
