Our client experienced severe trauma, having been sexually abused at the age of 16 while in an institution. The abuse, which came from an unidentified abuser described only as a man in his 40s with brown hair, had occurred 15-20 years ago. There were no witnesses and no known name for the abuser.
Despite facing strong defensive efforts from the institution, we presented a compelling case, highlighting the gravity of the abuse and the lasting impact on our client.
Ultimately, the institution accepted our offer, resulting in a $225,000 payout for our client, plus legal costs. This was a fantastic outcome, especially considering the maximum payout under the redress scheme for such cases is typically $150,000, particularly where the offender was not identified.
This case highlights the significant advantage of engaging an experienced lawyer for unidentified abuser cases. With our expertise, we achieved a substantial result for our client. In situations where the abuser is identified, we often secure even higher compensation, demonstrating our commitment to obtaining the best possible outcomes for our clients.
