Client K Wins £25,000 in Child abuse compensation
Farleys has successfully achieved a £25,000 compensatory award for Client K who was abused as a child by her uncle. Despite the fact that the abuse took place approximately 15 years ago, Farleys were successful in obtaining evidence to corroborate the claimant’s case. Favorable medical evidence was obtained which confirmed the ongoing psychiatric after effects of the abuse and resulted in the uncle paying £25,000 in compensation to our client, together with her full costs of proceeding with the claim.
£35,000 for Child D after Emotional and Physical Abuse
Child D suffered neglect together with emotional and physical abuse as a child. She was raised by her stepfather and his partner and alleged that there were many occasions when the local Social Services Department were made aware of the risks posed to her and failed to intervene to protect her.
As a result of the abuse the Claimant suffered psychiatric injury and attempted suicide. Medical evidence suggested some ongoing psychiatric injury into adulthood as a result of the childhood abuse.
Farleys received instructions on behalf of child D to bring a claim against the Social Services Department who admitted liability at an early stage in proceedings.
Following negotiation settlement of child D’s claim was achieved in the sum of £35,000.00.

£65,000 award for childhood abuse by neighbour
