How do I claim compensation for domestic violence which left me with life long back injuries?

I'm sorry to hear of your ordeal and the confusion over the claims process.

There is a government scheme known as the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority which compensates victims who have been injured as a result of criminla activity. Usually the time limit for bringing a claim is two years however in cases such as that you have described there is often some level of leniency.

You can instruct a solicitor to deal with this type of claim however as the CICA doesn't make a payment for legal fees you will find that firms usually need to take a % of your compensation at the end of a successful claim. You can however start and run the claim yourself which will enable you to recover the full compensation award.

I have posted the link to the CICA below so that you can have a look at the process and the type of award you may receive if your claim was successful.

Can I claim compensation?

Mike Massen

Simply because the water may have been spilt by a customer does not mean they can automatically escape liability. Cases such as this come down to, if the Defendant (Supermarket) are able to demonstrate that they have a reasonable system of inspection or not. A reasonable system of inspection depends on the size and nature of the store and the amount of foot traffic.

I would certainly recommend that you seek legal advice as without disclosure of the Defendants records it is difficult to know if your case maybe successful or not.
