A woman who's suing ACC on behalf of her daughter who was sexually abused, says the offer of compensation is a slap in the face.© 2012 The Radio Network
Around 100 people whose sensitive claims were mistakenly released to National Party insider Bronwyn Pullar, are suing the accident insurer. They've been offered $250 and an apology - but a woman who doesn't want to reveal her identity, says it's an insult.
She says it was hard to tell her daughter what had happened:
"I thought about it very, very carefully and was just very upfront with her and she was upset, worried about who knew what, because describing abuse is a very hard thing for anybody - especially a child I think."
The woman says ACC has to take more care in the way it deals with its clients.
"What I really want is for ACC to get their act together, tidy up the procedures and how they deal with their clients. I want them to show my daughter that they are very sorry and this is important and she does matter and remunerate her appropriately."
She says she has no confidence that things have improved at ACC.
