Claims specialists

Liz was walking across the driveway of a takeaway food business, when she stepped on a plastic cover and it gave way.
She fell into a drain and suffered a massive ankle injury – imagine what could have happened if a small child had stepped on the drain cover!
But fortunately others realised her situation was likely to lead to a compensation claim.
Her husband took photos of her after the accident and her boss took a video of the plastic cover. Liz took the evidence to a well-known law firm.
But no one from the firm asked to go and see the accident site. In fact, there was very little communication at all from the firm.
Liz wondered whether this firm could really win for her the $70,000 and $80,000 she had been told she could receive.
The defendant took a very hostile attitude to the claim, saying through their lawyer that it had no basis whatsoever.
Liz eventually came to Henry Carus + Associates. Henry, with his experience in similar claims, could not understand why the matter was not progressing.
He took over the matter and went out to the accident site with Liz and her husband, explaining how to submit a claim for liability.
Henry and his principal lawyer on the matter, Eliza, identified a number of reasons why the case would succeed and the accident never should have happened.
Henry raised all these points, and next thing Liz knew the defendant had invited her to an early conference to discuss her claim.
Liz was ecstatic as she accepted the defendant’s offer of $200,000.
If you find yourself in a similar position, contact Henry Carus + Associates to get the compensation you deserve and make the world a little safer for all of us.
