Neglect, Abuse & Criminal Injury Claims 


Action Against the Police

If you believe that you’ve been subject to wrongful police action, Irwin Mitchell can help you pursue a claim against the police force for compensation or damages.

Child Abuse Claims

Money can never entirely erase the distress caused by sexual, physical or emotional abuse. Even so, financial compensation can help victims of child abuse to rebuild and improve the quality of their lives.

Criminal Injury Claims

If you have been attacked or assaulted in the UK in a criminal attack, Irwin Mitchell can look after you and take care of your legal requirements in pursuing a criminal injury claim for your injuries.

Elder Abuse Claims

Abuse of the elderly does not just involve physical or sexual abuse. Elderly people can also be victims of financial abuse, such as the unauthorised accessing of money from accounts, or psychological abuse, such as bullying or neglect.

Terrorism Related Injuries

If you’ve been injured in a terrorist attack, we can give you comprehensive legal advice and represent you in claiming compensation for the trauma and injuries you experienced.
