Over 30 Years Experience Representing Clients’ Public Liability Claims

Accidents can happen at any time during your normal day to day life. You are not at fault if you are injured due to the negligence of those who are responsible for maintaining safe conditions of their property. Don’t settle for less than you need to properly recover after an injury. Our legal team is here to help you get the compensation you deserve in a public liability claim.

We have in the past represented numerous insurance companies (both commercial and domestic) and government agencies in Australia and the US. This experience has given us unique knowledge and insight from which to build your case.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Medical Negligence Claims Gets Results

Cases involving medical negligence are among the most complex and difficult areas of compensation law. They require expertise – both legal and medical – as well as a team with experience and dedication to seeking maximum compensation for victims. That is where a medical negligence solicitor and our team come in.

At Henry Carus + Associates, our objective is to get more for people who have been affected by negligent medical errors. We know that we can fix the medical mistake, but we can make a difference in the victim’s future.

We focus on proving that a health provider – such as a physician, medical specialist or hospital – did something wrong during the course of the patient’s medical treatment. Medical negligence cases all come down to understanding the medical evidence and getting the right expert medical evidence to support the claim. The experienced medical negligence lawyers legal team at Henry Carus + Associates is ready to review your case and provide you with advice about your potential legal options for recovering compensation.

Don’t Settle for Workcover’s First Offer – We Believe You Deserve More

With more than 30 years’ experience in WorkCover law, the team at Henry Carus + Associates has seen all workplace accident situations. One of our senior solicitors was also involved in the recent rewrite of the WorkCover legislation and is aware of its intricacies. This helps us maximise your compensation pay out.

From claims being rejected, medical benefits being unpaid, to income benefits being terminated and serious injury certificates being denied, there are many different disputes arising out of WorkCover Law. Our lawyers also have the expertise to pursue any available common law claim in court as well.

When it comes to WorkCover claims, we primarily see it as our job to step in and provide our expertise to dispute any improper decisions. So we’ll start by working hard to get you the benefits you deserve. We then immediately turn our minds to your entitlement to common law (generous) lump sum compensation for the serious injury you have suffered.

No matter what it takes – no matter how long we need to work – no matter how complicated the issue – there’s never a fee to pay until we win your case and get you a cash settlement.

Don’t Accept TAC’s Decisions as to What Benefits You Deserve

TAC on a regular basis makes decisions that deal with medical and related benefits you are entitled to as a person injured in a car accident. The relevant legislation gives you the right to these benefits, and TAC only operates as a government agency managing the benefits.

TAC often makes decisions to deny or restrict the benefits that are available after a auto accident, when such benefits should not be so restricted.

Moreover, TAC often does not inform the injured person and their family of the availability of many benefits, to the detriment of the injured person. The car accident lawyers at Henry Carus + Associates take the time to explain all the benefits that are available, and seek such benefits for you. If TAC is not willing to provide benefits we believe should be given, we are happy to contest their decisions and do so regularly – and successfully.

TAC’s benefits can be there for an injured person’s life, and without support from a supportive TAC lawyer, the injured person can be left struggling to live their life with the quality they deserve from the legislation created to help them.
