Is it Islamically permissible to claim compensation in a case involving my wife's termination from her job, and what should I do with the compensation amount if it is awarded to us, given that the complaint was based on a false accusation, and it was later discovered that there was an inaccurate medical report, and that the aggrieved student passed away after the case?

The judiciary is specialized in assessing the damage, compensation, and its amount.
