Mary and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story about this Public Liability Claim

Mary is a lovely and active lady who loves to walk her dogs with her husband.

One morning like any other, they went for a walk together.

As they walked past their neighbours’ property on the way back home, suddenly the front of Mary’s shoe caught something.

The next thing she knew, she fell heavily on the ground.

After the fall, she realised that a steel mesh protruding from the nature strip next to their neighbours’ property, had pierced through her shoe.

She sustained a terrible triad injury to her left elbow and her left shoulder. After some time, she started to develop pain in the right shoulder from overcompensating.

We made a claim against both the owners of the property and the construction company whose staff placed the steel mesh on the nature strip.

We argued, with strength, that the danger posed by the steel mesh was a concealed or hidden danger.

At mediation, we put forward our arguments and successfully settled the matter out of court.

Mary wrote to us to say:

When I suffered a serious accident I needed help to pursue a claim for compensation.

Fortunately Henry Carus and Associates guided me through the sometimes hostile process and enabled me to be fully compensated for my injury.

The process took nearly three years and there were times when I was ready to give up and accept a paltry offer just to get the matter finalised.

Henry’s wise counsel together with Eliza Tan gave me the courage to see it through to a very satisfactory outcome.

I have no hesitation in recommending Henry Carus + Associates to anybody who has had the misfortune to suffer a serious personal injury.

Thank you so much Henry and team for all that you have done for me and for the result achieved.
