The purpose of civil claims is to recognise a wrong by awarding 'damages', or compensation.
It aims to put you (the claimant) back into the financial position you would have been in had you not been wronged or harmed, in so far as it is reasonably possible.
You may have options as to who you can claim compensation from (the defendant).
You can bring a legal action against the person who abused you, or their employer, or the organisation for which they were working at the time.
Most employers and organisations have insurance which means that if you are successful, compensation will be paid by their insurance company.
