The Story about this TAC Claim

Sharon Z contacted our office after being discharged from a rehabilitation centre. She had suffered extensive serious injuries when she was hit by a car crossing a road. The accident happened near her home and she gave us a description of how it occurred. She was concerned about her future and her ability to work as a Chinese medicine practitioner. We explained how the TAC system worked and how TAC would assist her at first but may also later contest her common law claim on the basis that she was at fault for the accident. She was surprised by the apparent inconsistency of such a system and placed her trust in our firm. We investigated her accident right away, getting a statement from a key independent witness to the accident before too much time passed – knowing TAC would also do the same. That witness was very supportive of our client, placing almost all responsibility on the driver that hit her. When the time came years later to settle her common law claim, TAC, as expected, wished to argue that the driver had done nothing wrong, and acted as though the independent witness did not exist. We were then in a position to tell TAC what we had in our statement from that witness. It was at this point, and only at this point, that TAC conceded its driver was almost totally to blame. It is with such experience, hard work, and patience, that our firm delivered to Sharon an excellent settlement.

Actual Client Testimonial

A severe car accident happened to me when I was out one day in July 2009. I stayed in the hospital for three months undergoing several surgeries, and then undertook rehabilitation treatment after I was discharged from the hospital. I had gone through lots of pain and suffering. To fight for justice, among many experienced solicitors, we found one who was more outstanding than the rest—that was you, Mr Henry Carus—to be our acting solicitor. With your professional legal experience, a down-to-earth attitude and your wisdom, plus the dedicated and professional work of your team, you had resolved all sorts of difficulties, won the case, gained the justice for me, and also a generous amount of compensation, by which I was very much comforted. Also your charges are very reasonable. In a word, I believe you are an excellent and qualified senior solicitor. I have told my experience to others and share the joy of winning the case. Once again, many thanks to Mr Henry Carus and your team. You have indeed acted like “We Care For You”.
