The Applicant, a peace officer, sought compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board for injuries sustained when an offender assaulted him at a courthouse.
The Applicant suffered a broken jaw, a sprained ankle, and a concussion, requiring surgery and time off work.
The Board found the Applicant was a victim of crime under the Compensation for Victims of Crime Act and awarded $6,000 for pain and suffering.
Claims for ambulance and parking expenses were denied due to a lack of supporting documentation.
