Psychiatric injury
Psychiatric injury
Were you abused as a child?
As a result of the Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, many victims have realised that their abuse was criminal.
Many victims find it difficult to fulfil their earning potential.
It is sometimes possible to sue an institution for psychiatric injury and lost earnings.
The role of such an action is to put the victim back in the place they would be had the injury not happened.
