School auxiliary worker is assaulted - wins £8,500

The claim

Mrs A worked as an auxiliary in a school for children with learning difficulties. A pupil, aged 9, assaulted her and she was left with bruises and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The result

We claimed compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. The Authority initially refused her case, stating that a nine year old could not commit a violent crime. We successfully appealed their decision and Mrs A was awarded £8,500 compensation.
