Child Abuse Compensation Claims

If you have been the victim of sexual, physical or emotional abuse in childhood, you may be entitled to claim child abuse compensation.

Freeclaim Solicitors are specialist child abuse compensation lawyers representing people who have been traumatised by recalling events of child abuse in childhood, which often occurred years ago.

We have over 1,500 hours of experience of dealing with these difficult, sensitive abuse claims. We led in effect what were test cases against Manchester City Council for abuse in children's homes in their control during the 1960's and 1970's. It was painstaking detective work and resulted in a successful child abuse compensation claim leading to the formation of a multi-party action.

If you have been the victim of abuse, there are a number of legal consequences:

• Your abuser could be prosecuted in the Criminal Courts and be punished.
• Because you have been the victim of the crime of child abuse, you may be able to apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
• You may be able to make a compensation claim against your abuser or someone else responsible (i.e. employers) in the Civil Courts.
