Judith Hester and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story about this WorkCover Claim

Judith came to Henry Carus for advice after a fall at work. Prior to the fall Judith worked with people with disabilities. On the day of her accident Judith had been on an outing with a client when they had a seizure and collapsed, landing on Judith and causing her injury. What made Judith’s claim different was that her injuries started out minor but developed over time to be very serious and complicated. The insurer for the claim would not accept the extent of Judith’s injuries and her increasing disability. With great persistence we were able to prove to the insurer the extent of her initial injuries and those that developed over time. Finally the insurer accepted responsibility for Judith’s injuries.

From Judith’s mother - Thank you for the great professional care you have given my daughter, Judith, during her time with you and your staff. From Judith - Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. I appreciated your openness and honesty Henry - from the day that I made contact with you, you were up front with me about my chances of gaining any compensation. Henry, you came to my home and explained everything to me and you told me from the start that I was an interesting case. I asked you then “was it worth pursuing?” and you said “yes, anything was worth the chance.” Throughout the whole process I was amazed at you and your staff’s professionalism, and I was treated with the upmost respect. Our journey was long and, even though my settlement was not big, I can’t tell you how happy I am with the result. Once again, thank you Henry, Jessica and team. I would recommend you to anyone who wants an understanding, hard-working group of people.
