David Maddock and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story

David is a hardworking father who was unfortunately involved in a public liability accident when he was taking his dog for a walk. He slipped on his neighbour’s driveway which did not have enough slip resistance. He sustained significant injuries, including a 2nd injury to the left ankle, having injured it only 9 months before in a separate accident. We assisted Dave with public liability claim process and issued legal proceedings on his behalf seeking compensation. Dave was based in Perth for most of the time, but we overcame this potential barrier with a high degree of clear and concise communication. The whole team took all necessary steps to prepare his claim for the best possible outcome, including attending the accident site, engaging a slip testing expert, and obtaining a weather report from the afternoon of the incident. We represented Dave at an informal settlement conference and we were able to successfully settle his claim out of court.

I first contacted Henry Carus Associates in 2015 after watching his TV commercial. I had broken my leg for the second time in a year. One of his associates come to meet me and I told her what had happened which was my neighbour has painted her driveway to decorate her home but she was used the wrong paint so when it was damp。 I slid across it breaking my leg again. I was sent to the specialist and he done a report and then it was the other parties Doctors turn. I could not believe after 25 minutes he wrote a report. I could not believe or except when I got it. I rang Eliza my solicitor and asked what and how this could be done. She told me don't let it worry me. Then Henry and Eliza came to my home with a slip tester expert who done his tests on the driveway which were in my favour. And before I knew it  I was in Henry's office discussing a settlement with the other party. No courts nothing. I would like to thank Henry and Eliza for all their efforts for this outcome. Great work. Regards David Maddock
