On Christmas Day, driving home, I had to stop at a junction, some bloke walks past my car and knocks my wing mirror off and disappears. I get out to pick my wing mirror up and up turns round and attacks me for no reason. I phone the police, they turn up, and I get a ride in the ambulance. From my point of view (I was sober and could of been pissed up), I didn't provoke him at all, just went to retrieve my mirror!

Anyways, they don't catch the guy who did it, I have to fork out for a new wing mirror and the hearing in my left ear still hasn't returned meaning that I'm unable to work until I've have had a work approved medical (working for the railways).

Is there anyway I can get even a modicum of compensation to pay for the wing mirror etc.

You can't get compensation for the mirror unless the suspect is caught, charged and prosecuted.
You may be entitled to compensation from CICA with regards to your injury.
