The Story about this TAC Claim

Monica was just 20 years old when her life changed forever. On her way to university one morning near Chadstone Shopping Centre, her car was violently struck by a speeding vehicle, causing it to roll before coming to rest.
She suffered a severe brain injury and remained in a coma for 30 days. When Monica regained consciousness, she faced profound challenges, with significant and lasting impairments that altered the course of her life and her dream of pursuing a career in medicine.
We were able to establish that excessive speed was the primary cause of the collision and the devastating injuries Monica sustained. Her claim was resolved before trial, achieving a settlement for very significant damages.
Today, Monica is using that outcome as a foundation to reclaim her independence, rebuild her confidence, and move forward with strength and hope.

Actual Client Testimonial.

Not long after sustaining a serious life-altering brain injury in a car accident in 2019, I decided to seek legal representation as I struggled to navigate the TAC process. Initially I contacted four different no-win/no-fee firms however after speaking with each firm I felt even more overwhelmed. Then I discovered the Henry Carus & Associates website. I decided to contact person injury lawyer David Halhead, someone who deals with head injury related claims and in less than five minutes on the phone with David, I was convinced he was the right person to represent me. David asked all the right questions, explained what I was entitled to given the circumstances of my accident and what he believed to be the best approach moving forward. From the get-go, David Halhead was compassionate and understanding of the trauma I had experienced. Over the following 6 years David and his team fought hard for me, showing consistent empathy for my injuries, fiercely advocating for my rights and always making an concerted effort to explain any legal jargon along the way ensuring i was able to make informed decisions at every turn. David’s legal assistant Phoebe Wan was an absolute dream to deal with, she comprehensively answered all of my questions, always replied in a timely manner and was incredibly kind and caring in her approach. Thanks to David Halhead’s impeccable attention to detail and thoroughness at managing my complicated claim, a sizable settlement for my injuries was achieved all whilst avoiding the need for a trial, which was a huge relief in of itself. I feel truly grateful and blessed to have had such outstanding legal representation and cannot recommend David Halhead and his team at Henry Carus & Associates enough!
