Legal Rights
Why Claim Compensation?
Although it is impossible to turn back the clock to prevent the suffering,
often, bringing a legal action can work to ensure
that other people do not suffer in the same way.
- Claims for compensation can help to support
a family through the trauma, anguish and distress caused by abuse,
mis-use of power and incompetence.
- Lawyers can play a valuable role in the survivor’s
recovery process. The solicitor may be the first person
who has heard and validated their experiences by agreeing to act
for them.
- For many, compensation is the only recognition
that what happened to them was wrong.
- For many it is the simple realisation that what
they had to tell was the truth and that their problems were
not of their own creation.
- Compensation can assist in re-building lives
and can help survivors to cope with the recurrent memories.
- Compensation may also be helpful in obtaining appropriate
counselling and psychotherapy to assist in their treatment.
- By successfully pursuing cases against organisations, this will make
public bodies responsible and will ensure that they will
comply with their general duties to act within their powers, follow
correct procedures and not act unreasonably.
- In some cases, speaking out about the abuse can even help
to change the law, which will ultimately benefit the public
as a whole.
