The applicant, a hospital nurse, sought compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board for injuries sustained when she was assaulted by a patient.
The offender was convicted of assault.
The Board awarded $5,000 for pain and suffering and $310 for chiropractic expenses, plus pre-authorized future counselling expenses.
The claim for lost wages was denied because the applicant received WSIB benefits covering 85% of her net earnings, and the Board found no actual wage loss occurred due to cost savings from not working.
