Did he injure you intentionally or negligently? If so, of course you can. Why do you ask?

We have been married for 13 years and he has been prosecuted for domestic violence before, I am asking as I am now under going major surgery because of the injury and been told that I need a full knee replacement and new cartlidge, and can't work for at least 2 years. I am currently raising our 3 children on my own. He is in the army on a full time wage and because of his temper he has caused so much damage to my health

You can sue him. Whether you'll win is another issue. I won't attempt to predict here whether you have a good chance of winning or not. But if you do plan to sue him you'll need to document the damages you've suffered as a result of your injury. That would include the lost wages that you've mentioned here. That would also include other expenses resulting from this injury, such as medical fees, attorney fees if applicable and any other expenditures that occurred because of this injury. Be sure to keep meticulous records and document everything carefully. Incidentally, have you consulted with an attorney? You'd be wise to do so if you haven't. Contact your local Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service and tell them you need to consult with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney. You'll also need to prove that the injury was actually his fault. I'm not saying it isn't but you'll have the burden of demonstrating that it is.

He has admitted it to my solicitor through our divorce on the grounds of domestic violence.
