Cassandra O’Brien and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story about this TAC Claim

Cassandra came to us shortly after her accident. She had been crushed repeatedly by the door of a bus as she was traveling home from work. She was still a bit shaken but, from the outset, she was determined to get as well as she could. Despite her best efforts and commitment to her treatment, she was left with significant ongoing pain and eventually had to enter early retirement as she was unable to keep up with the work she was doing.

TAC initially denied Cassandra’s serious injury application and we had to begin Court proceedings to challenge this decision. We were confident from the outset that Cassandra’s claim would be successful and we worked hard to gather evidence in support of her matter. We were able to schedule a pre-trial conference with the TAC where we were not only able to obtain her serious injury certificate but also settle her common law damages claim. Cassandra was stunned by the turnaround in her fortunes and had the following to say:

I would like to commend Michael Constable for his professionalism, his concern and his prompt answering of emails etc. It was as though I were his only client. As you would know, being injured in an accident makes one not be at the top of their game, and it is hard to come across as level-headed when dealing with a lot of pain. From the beginning, Michael's attitude was totally professional and I felt that he understood what I was going through.

I would also like to commend Sibilla Richards for her support and professionalism over the time.

I contacted Henry Carus and Associates after sustaining a bus injury on my way home from work. Although fit and well before the accident, I then had to return to work a few days after the accident in a massive amount of pain and begin going through the TAC. The best phone call I have ever made was to Henry Carus and Associates. From the beginning, I was treated with concern and professionalism which means a lot to someone in pain and then having to negotiate an injury claim in unfamiliar territory. Throughout my claim period, I had the same solicitor who guided me through the process and showed genuine concern and a passion to attain the best outcome for me. If accepted as a client, there are no 'upfront' fees and no costs are payable until the firm is successful with the claim. This relieves any financial stress on the claimant. Given all the pressures which were on me post-accident, I would never have been able to successfully negotiate compensation for the injuries sustained. I would unreservedly recommend Henry Carus and Associates to anyone injured in an accident.
