Lei Lei and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story about this

Lei was injured in a motor vehicle accident when she was walking to pick her son up from school. Crossing on a green pedestrian light she was hit by a driver who failed to give way because she was distracted. The high speed impact caused a nasty injury to Lei’s neck. Following consultations with two different surgeons and attempts at conservative treatment Lei decided not to undergo major surgery to fuse her spine, hoping that her symptoms might be able to improve with time. Despite her optimism her injury failed to really improve and she was unable to assist with her husband’s business and struggled to raise her two young children. Between the physical injury and mental strain of dealing the changes to her life, Lei found that she was really struggling. She had always wanted to work and had wanted to have another two children but both of these things had to be abandoned as they simply weren’t possible anymore.

Lei contacted our firm and was impressed with Henry immediately. We have had a long working relationship with Lei and have come to know her, her husband and her children throughout the process. She is an example of where time can be your friend in seeking compensation as, though her claim was finalised over five years post-accident, we were able to really drive home the impact the accident had had on Lei. With the amount of evidence we had to put forward the TAC came to realise that Lei had suffered substantial damage and we secured her lump sum compensation of $400,000.

I am overjoyed to hear the news that you have won the case for me. At this moment, no words can express my gratitude and respect to you. I feel very lucky that I have chosen Henry Carus & Associates to represent me from the beginning. My once beautiful life was destroyed by this shocking traffic accident. I would never forget, at noon 1 August 2010, I walked to pick up my kids from school. The green light lid up, however the young female driver was absent minded and did not brake in time, so she run the light, and hit right on me crossing the road. This traffic accident has caused me permanent cervical spine injury, C6, C7 cervical spine puncture, severe spine deformity, and gradually causing spine narrow and calcification. My life has turned upside down since. I am in pain both mentally and physically. My heart is in darkness. When I wished to take legal actions, I was fortunate to have met Henry. It is your professionalism, determination and justice that gives me enormous hope and strength. During the past four years, you and your team has made tremendous effort to win the case. You have never let any evidence to my advantage slip away. Your wisdom and experience have helped me to achieve fairness and justice, and gained the compensation that I deserve. Although the physical pain is still with me, you have given me a very satisfactory outcome and driven the gloomy cloud away from me. You save me from helplessness and fight for justice and fairness for me. I thank you sincerely, Henry. I believe your braveness, integrity, wisdom, diligence and professionalism will win more cases for you. There will be more helpless people like me who would see the light of hope with your assistance. I admire you and respect you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you! Wish your career is all smooth and moving forward!
