Doyle’s Guide 2026: HC+A Recognised in Seven Categories

We are proud to announce that Henry Carus + Associates has been recognised across seven categories in the 2026 Doyle’s Guide, including recognition for our firm and members of our legal team across motor vehicle accidents, work injuries and public liability compensation.

The recognition reflects the expertise, dedication and commitment of our people — and the standard of service we strive to provide to every injured Victorian who comes through our doors.

Seven Doyle’s Guide recognitions for HC+A

The 2026 Doyle’s Guide has recognised Henry Carus + Associates and our team in the following Victorian categories:

Henry Carus – Three individual recognitions

Our Principal, Henry Carus, has been recognised in three 2026 Doyle’s Guide categories:

• Leading Public Liability Compensation Lawyer (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026
• Leading Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation Lawyer (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026
• Leading Work Injury Compensation Lawyer (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026

These individual recognitions acknowledge Henry’s experience and expertise representing injured people across some of the major areas of Victorian personal injury law.

Ben Pretty – Injury & Compensation Law Rising Star

Ben Pretty has been recognised as an Injury & Compensation Law Rising Star – Victoria 2026.

Ben joined Henry Carus + Associates as a Law Graduate in 2020, progressing to Trainee Lawyer, Lawyer and Associate. His recognition as a Rising Star is a wonderful acknowledgement of his continued development as a personal injury lawyer and his commitment to his clients.

Ben’s approach is centred on understanding the people behind each claim and helping clients navigate what can be an incredibly difficult period of their lives.

Henry Carus + Associates – Three firm recognitions

Our firm has also been recognised in three 2026 Doyle’s Guide categories:

• Leading Work Injury Compensation Law Firm (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026
• Leading Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation Law Firm (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026
• Leading Public Liability Compensation Law Firm (Plaintiff) – Victoria 2026

Together, these recognitions reflect the depth of experience within our personal injury team and our focus on representing injured Victorians across a range of compensation claims.

Recognition that belongs to the whole team

While awards may carry individual names, the work behind every successful client outcome is a team effort.

At Henry Carus + Associates, our lawyers work alongside experienced paralegals, client care and support teams to guide clients through every stage of their claim.

For someone dealing with a serious injury, the legal process can feel overwhelming. Our role is not simply to provide legal representation. It is to make sure our clients feel heard, informed, supported and prepared throughout their matter.

That is what our “You Deserve More” philosophy means to us.

What is Doyle’s Guide?

Doyle’s Guide publishes independent listings of leading lawyers and law firms across Australia and New Zealand.

Its 2026 Injury & Compensation Law Rising Stars listing identifies Victorian lawyers working in plaintiff personal injury and compensation law who have been recognised for their work and expertise. The listing is based on independent peer-nomination surveys and cannot be purchased.

Doyle’s Guide also publishes separate rankings for plaintiff-focused compensation law firms, including work injury, motor vehicle accident and public liability matters in Victoria.

Congratulations to our team

We would like to congratulate Henry and Ben on their individual recognition and thank every member of the HC+A team who contributes to the work behind these results.

Most importantly, we thank our clients for the trust they place in us.

Being recognised by our peers is something we are proud of. But our greatest measure of success remains the people we represent and the difference we can make for injured people and their families.

At Henry Carus + Associates, we believe You Deserve More.

If you or someone close to you has suffered a serious injury and would like to understand whether you may be entitled to compensation, our experienced personal injury lawyers are here to help.
