    Obtaining compensation after home carer is criminally assaulted at work

    Mrs K., a home carer, suffered a soft tissue injury to her left shoulder when she was assaulted at work.  Having succesfully obtained compensation for her through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, Digby Brown pursued a claim against her employers - not an easy case to pursue in a complex area of the law. Digby Brown, after court action, successfully obtained £7750 for the client.
