Injury

When a victim of crime suffers an injury as a result of a violent attack or as a result of a crime related activity they are usually entitled to compensation and can make a criminal injury claim to the CICA which distributes payments for personal injury and in some circumstances for financial losses to the victims of violent crime. The CICA administers a the compensation fund which was set up through legislation and statute by the government in 1964. The fund now operates using a tariff scheme whereby all injuries are allocated into a particular band and are compensated accordingly.

The rules regarding applications are complex with potential time limits and possible appeals. A claim to the CICA must normally be made within two years of the assault which caused the injury. Failure to report the matter to the police or to a relevant authority within a short time after the incident may subsequently preclude payment of a criminal injury claim. The system can be daunting and there are many considerations to make before claiming for the compensation you are due. However, with the right legal expert doing the hard work for you, and funding your claim completely, there is no risk involved whatsoever. Our specialist solicitors work on the basis of the ‘No Win, No Fee’ system. This essentially means that you do not pay any fees, legal expenses or other related costs and if you lose, you do not pay a penny.
