Claims against THE INDIVIDUAL
Claims against the abuser or perpetratorThere are occasions where there is no alternative but to pursue the abuser themselves. This can be as a result of there being no insurance but there are the very unfortunate circumstances whereby the abuse has been undertaken by a family member, neighbour or friend.
Bringing a Civil Claim
We appreciate that is is not easy to make contact and discuss your experiences. We are happy to discuss your potential claim on a non-committal basis and provide you with the opportunity to meet in person to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Limitation
The law says that you have three years from the date of an incident to bring your claim, or three years from your 18th birthday if you were a child when it occurred. However, even if you are out of time, you may still be able to bring a claim for abuse.
We have extensive expertise in properly addressing limitation and ensuring that individuals obtain the justice that they seek.
Funding
If most cases we can offer you a No Win, No Fee Agreement. This means that you will not have to pay us unless we are successful in your claim. If we are successful in your claim you will need to pay us a success fee which is capped at no more than 25% of your compensation.
If your claim is unsuccessful, we simply do not get paid.
