Robert Mineo and Henry Carus + Associates

The Story

Robert was involved in a nasty road accident when a truck failed to give way at an intersection. He was riding his motorcycle at the time and suffered a neck injury and fractures to both of his wrists.

Robert suffered other injuries and eventually the TAC agreed that he was entitled to a serious injury certificate and, with it, access to common law damages. The TAC obtained medical reports that downplayed the extent of Robert’s injuries, which surprised Robert but not us. We explained to Robert that with common law damages the TAC is acting as an insurer for the truck driver that caused his injuries and would be seeking to minimize his compensation claim.

We arranged for Robert to be seen by highly respected specialists, including ones used by the TAC for the care of some seriously injured persons. In the end their views were very supportive and convinced the TAC that Robert was entitled to much more compensation than they originally considered.

We kept Robert informed at all times with what we were doing and trying to achieve.

I wanted to say a sincere thank you to you and your firm for the genuine hard work and diligence that was put in to successfully conclude my case. Clearly, the outcome was nothing short of outstanding! Financial settlement can’t take away the ‘legacy’ of the accident – but it sure helps. Right from the first day when my wife and I met you in our home, I had a good feeling about you. I had the impression you were a person that “knew their stuff’ and a man of genuine integrity and principles. You have also obviously instilled this culture in your firm, or sought out the staff that fit this. And the day you had settlement negotiations really cemented to me that it is important to you to live and work by these attributes. It really goes without saying that if I know of anyone who is needing the services of a decent law firm, I would not hesitate to recommend you wholeheartedly.
