Injury

Our solicitors are personal injury specialists who deal with no win no fee criminal injury compensation claims. The CICA was established to ensure that victims of violent crime are offered statutory compensation. If you have suffered a physical or mental injury due to a violent assault which has caused you to visit a doctor at least twice and from which you did not recover for at least 6 weeks, then you may qualify for an award.

Tariff Scheme

Physical and psychological injuries are graded in bands ranging from £1,000 to £250,000. A combination of minor injuries may qualify, if they have caused the victim at least two visits to a doctor for treatment and if recovery has taken 6 weeks or more. If the injuries have caused loss of earnings for more than 28 weeks then the victim may be eligible for compensation for income losses. If the victim's injuries cause them to be incapacitated for more than 28 weeks than they may be entitled to claim damages for the cost of ongoing medical treatment or care.
