Danny Dutton and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story

Danny fell through a hole in a concrete roof at his work and sustained a serious injury from the fall. He required surgery to his arm and had ongoing problems with day to day and work activities. After the accident in 2006 he attempted to handle his claim with WorkCover himself but, found the WorkCover insurer unwilling to approve the additional medical treatment that he needed. He came to Henry Carus and Associates for help. Despite the insurer denying liability and blaming Danny for the accident we were able to negotiate a fair settlement without having to proceed to court.

“Henry Carus is not your typical lawyer which is an absolute blessing for anyone requiring a dedicated and attentive advocate! I became very disappointed with the WorkCover insurance company after I needed further medical treatment for chronic pain that had occurred some years after my injury and subsequent surgery. It became evident to me that the insurance company no longer believed that my injury needed any further medical treatment. A medical specialist urged me to engage an advocate to seek an outcome from the insurance company on my behalf to address the issues pertaining to my injury. I googled personal injury lawyers and was faced with a plethora of law firms spruiking their wares. Amongst many well-known large law firms I saw one that I had not heard of and my instinct was telling me that I needed a small firm because they will afford me the personal attention that I require and that they will care about my needs above theirs. I rang only one firm which was Henry Carus and Associates and after talking to Henry I realised that he cared and had my concerns and welfare as his number one priority, I just didn’t need to ring any other firm. Henry was frank and upfront about the pros and cons and he was in no doubt that with my claim he could obtain an outcome that would not disappoint me. Henry did all the work, he asked me to be patient which I was as I had complete confidence in his dedication to my cause and his professionalism. He is one lawyer I truly admire and respect and his frankness was a breath of fresh air. I met all of the medical appointments that Henry arranged and I completely followed due process. I did everything Henry asked of me and Henry listened to every issue and concern I raised and followed up on them. It became evident that we had to take a firm stand and Henry stated that my stoicism and patience was putting us at a distinct advantage. Henry provided advice and wise counsel which could only benefit me, this is Henry’s area of expertise, not mine so I put my faith in Henry and it paid dividends. In the end the processes that Henry and I followed meant that my case proceeded like a Swiss watch,  smooth without any hiccups, a faultless performance by Henry and his team As I now have a settlement that I am very happy with, I am extremely grateful to Henry and I have to say that Henry and his firm did all of the hard work and at no time did I feel burdened or any angst nor did I have any concerns. All Henry and his associates were concerned about was my welfare and obtaining a highly desirable outcome form me which they did and they did all this with the utmost of integrity and professionalism. Thank you Henry and associates, thank you!”
