The Story about this Public Liability Claim

Our client came to our firm seeking help after suffering serious injuries to her ankle when she tripped and fell whilst walking down a busy street in St Albans.

Before speaking with our team, Angelina, like a lot of our clients, was really worried about the prospect of going to court and found the entire process of a legal claim to be quite daunting.

After inspecting the accident site, it was clear to our legal team that Angie had tripped as a result of a hole in the footpath.

Our investigations revealed that the local Council had been aware of the risk for some time but had failed to take any steps to repair the hole prior to Angie’s fall.

We successfully pursued the case on our client’s behalf, without going to Court, and she received a generous compensation payout which we hope will provide some security to her and her family’s future.  

We were very pleased to be able to assist Angie in obtaining an excellent result, and this is what she had to say about our services:

Actual Client Testimonial.

It was in January 2020, when I was involved in a serious accident that affected me physically and emotionally as I continued to support and look after my then-ill husband who passed away in January 2021.

Although I knew this would be a case of David against Goliath, I was determined to succeed to ensure that the same accident would not happen again to anyone else.

With the help of the amazing team at Henry Carus and Associates, against all odds, I finally achieved what I had hoped to achieve. My claim was successful and the unsafe area of footpath which caused my accident to occur was later fixed. I feel much better knowing the area has been made safe for other people who use the footpath and that they will not be at risk of injuring themselves as I did.

This would have not been possible without the support of the wonderful and professional team of Henry Carus and Associates.

I personally would like to thank Ben Pretty, Lawyer, and his team for their tireless support and guidance over the last four years.

The word thank you is not enough to show how much I appreciate all the hard work and commitments presented to me and my family during one of our challenging times. Thank you Ben and team for your patience, kindness, and generosity. You have shown nothing but your commitment and dedication to ensure that my goal and purpose were achieved.

Wishing you and your team all the best.

Best regards

Angie Mom and family
