Criminals Injuries Compensation
If you've been the victim of crime, we can give you a helping hand.
As the victim of a violent attack, claiming damages can not only give you compensation for your injuries, it can help you get your life back together after a traumatic and frightening experience.
Violent assaults on the street, at home or at work are on the increase, and can leave you with permanent and disfiguring injuries.
The Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme is in place to allow victims to claim compensation and the many injuries it covers includes:
- Loss of a fingernail
- Cuts and bruises
- Mental anxiety
- Sexual abuse
- Scarring
- Fractures
- Paralysis
- Fatal injuries
Claimants with a criminal record may have their compensation reduced, but this depends on the type and length of their conviction and the time since the conviction, so is judged on an individual basis.
