Oh boy, what a question. This is a complex question and one I'm not sure of the answer. You probably can but without more research I can't say for sure. I will say this, I've represented a young woman who was sexually abused by her stepfather and we won a settlement in that case. So probably yes.

Can I receive compensation for being a victim of domestic violence?Can I receive financial compensation for domestic abuse even if the abuse was psychological and verbal but not physical? I have a statement from a psychotherapist stating I suffered from battered women's syndrome.
