Are You Eligible to Claim Cosmetic Surgery Compensation?
If you believe that you are the victim of medical malpractice due to negligent plastic or cosmetic treatment, then Brydens Lawyers can assist you in making a successful claim.
It is important to note that a poor outcome resulting from your treatment does not in itself establish an entitlement to claim. What needs to be proven is that the treatment provided to you by a medical professional was done in a negligent manner and that the treatment provider breached their duty of care to you.

What Are You Able to Claim?
If you are looking to get compensation due to plastic or cosmetic surgery medical negligence, or any other kind of medical negligence, then there are different types of damages you may be able to claim.

Non-economic loss which includes damages for pain and suffering.
Past and future medical expenses and out-of-pocket expenses.
Loss of income and any damage done to your ability to earn an income in the future.
Past and future loss of superannuation benefits.
Past and future paid services such as home cleaning or nursing assistance.

Additional costs incurred in connection with continuing disabilities, for example, additional cost of holidays due to special needs.
A contribution towards your legal costs and disbursements.
All cosmetic surgery compensation claims and medical malpractice claims vary. Damages are very specific to each individual’s situation and assessing your claim for damages will be a central part of the service provided to you by our medical negligence team.
