Abuse claims can be extremely triggering for survivors and very difficult, arduous work for abuse lawyers to run.
When you start a claim for abuse it is important to provide as much information as possible to give your claim the best chance at success.
5 things that will help your claim:
- Location of the abuse – where did the abuse take place.
- When did the abuse take place – specific dates / years / time periods.
- Who is/was the Perpetrator (s) – name, description, occupation, any identifying features, alive or deceased.
- Nature of the abuse – this may be sexual, physical, psychological or a combination of all of these abuses.
- Reporting – was the abuse reported? If so, who reported the abuse, who was it reported to and when was it reported.
