How our Victorian cruise ship and airline injury lawyers can help you.

Your Victorian-based Law Partners public injury lawyer will:

Gather evidence of your cruise ship or airline injury, which may include photos of the hazard that caused your accident, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports.

Have your injuries assessed by a doctor.  We need medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered from the accident.

Identify the public liability insurer we’ll be claiming against and submit your claim. If the insurer accepts liability then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment.

Most of our claims are settled without the need for court action, but if the insurer rejects liability or we’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to get your compensation.


Cruise ship and airline injury claim FAQs.

No win no fee lawyers offer 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.

Public liability claims typically take 12-18 months to settle. However, they can take significantly longer depending on your injuries, especially if you can’t reach a settlement agreement and you need to take the insurer to court to pursue compensation. It’s also important to allow time for your injuries to stabilise so that we can make sure we claim your full entitlements.

You can rest assured your Law Partners public liability lawyer will work as quickly as possible and get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Joseph's story

Justice for Miata’s death

I can’t thank the girls at law partners enough, I rang them as a last resort as I was struggling to get help from anyone else, after the first call I immediately felt better, they actually seemed like they cared, they immediately got the claim going, they organised all appointments & forms which made everything alot easier for me, when the compensation was offered they said it wasn’t adequate so they advised me to appeal the decision & I ended up getting double the original amount. Thanks again LawPartners!

Yasmine Jawar and Mimi Tuco, what a welcoming light of hope you were for my family and I. I recommend this firm to any person dealing with a Psychological injury in the work place.

Yasmine was not only understanding of my injury but calm. No Matter how many times I emailed or rang over the past year my own concerns were always met with emotional support and sincerity.

We have a long way to go but have progressed with already great results. A Psychological injury is never easy, but this firm fought for me and my family and keep doing so. My family and I are forever grateful for all the effort and support received.

Thank you so much Gerald Fong and Emily at Law Partners, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Gerald was incredibly patient with me throughout the entire process, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain everything in a way that I could understand when he was helping me . His calm and understanding approach helped me feel at ease, even during the more stressful moments of my claim. Both he and Emily were always professional, compassionate, and responsive, making sure I felt supported and informed every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for the care and expertise they provided. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients, Gerald, Emily, and the team at Law Partners are exceptional. Thank you for everything Josh

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.

My husband has been going through a grueling workers compensation claim and the one saving grace throughout this horrible process has been the wonderful support from Haider and his team at Law Partners. They are quick to respond to any and every inquiry or concern we have, and have stood up to the insurer multiple times on our behalf, with very favourable results. When the government announced its intention to introduce reforms to the Workers Compensation Act earlier this year, Haider was very quick to call us personally and inform us of how we may be affected if the reforms went through, and began expediting our claim as much as he could to ensure we had the best possible outcome. This level of care (which I’m sure he provided to all of his clients) went above and beyond expectations and as a result it looks as though we’ll be able to finish this process earlier than previously expected, which is a huge relief. I don’t know where my family and I would be without the wonderful legal support we have received, and I can’t thank Haider and his team enough.

I came to Law Partners because they specialise in compensation. My lawyer made me feel very comfortable and gave fantastic advice. I am 110% satisfied with the result, I got a better result than expected after following my lawyer’s advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Law Partners to others.
