While walking within a bicycle lane, Ama was involved in a car accident that caused nasty injuries to her knee and leg. She decided to seek legal advice from personal injury lawyers Henry Carus + Associates and see what her options were after the accident.
“We immediately investigated her accident to ensure she could not be held at all responsible for it, and then obtained extensive medical evidence to show she was seriously injured”, said Henry Carus.
“Our efforts led to an early settlement where she received over $170,000”.
With Ama being aged in her 70’s, this compensation amount was greatly beneficial for her, added Henry.
Before the accident, Ama worked as a part-time nurse in the aged care industry. If the accident never happened, she would have continued her nursing career until her late 70s. Despite receiving physiotherapy and counselling, Ama wasn’t able to remain in her job, which she loved and enjoyed, as she continued to suffer both mentally and physically. But after getting help from Henry Carus and his team of personal injury lawyers, her life took a turn for the better.
The “communication, dedication, and professionalism” was the key to her successful compensation claim, she said.
Moreover, the team’s experience and excellent systematic approach to Ama’s case is what enabled it to win her over $170,000 in compensation. She was also granted a serious injury certificate, and her claim was settled smoothly.
As Ama can testify, being in a nasty car accident that leaves you with serious injuries can mean that you’re unable to continue working and supporting yourself and/or your family.
