Erika Poynton and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story about this Public Liability Claim

Erika had a fall whilst in hospital. After a significant period of rehab, due to the injuries from the fall, she sought legal advice from another legal firm about bringing a claim against the hospital.

Initially she was told the law firm would assist her, but then they advised they did not think she could prove her claim. Erika could not understand this advice and came to us for a second opinion.  We agreed with Erika. This was a claim with merit. Her fall should never have happened and she should be compensated for her pain and suffering. We took over her claim and obtained for Erika the result she was looking for – compensation for her suffering.

After the claim settled Erika wrote to us with these kind words:

Actual Client Testimonial

I want to thank you and everybody in your firm, from the receptionist to all the lawyers for your kindness and professionalism. When I came to your office in Brighton it was so relaxed and friendly and I felt I was believed. A very different atmosphere then the one of my previous solicitors.   Jessica was always positive and friendly.Henry is a very special man and lawyer when he negotiates he sparkles. He did the very best for me and my case. I will always be grateful for his efforts and could not recommend him more. Whatever your case would be, you would have the best chance with Henry Carus. We are very lucky to have a law firm who stands up for the little guys in Melbourne. As a person he is charming and kind, he makes you feel as an equal. I cannot talk about my case for legal reasons, but I was very satisfied with the outcome. I went first to the one of the big firms with the logo no case no fee. Within 30 months they sent me to 2 specialists and after all that time said I had no case, but they sent me a legal bill of $5,600 for printing. The Clerk of this firm said hospital toilet seats never slide, her friend a nurse told her, and so they said I had no case. I was in shock, the slogan no case no fee is very bogus and a lie.
