If you – or a family member or friend of yours – has suffered an injury as a victim of a violent crime then you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

Depending on the severity of your injuries, compensation payouts can range from between £1,000 to £500,000.

Our experienced team of personal injury solicitors can help you make a No Win No Fee claim for the compensation you are entitled to, so get in touch today for a free consultation.

Am I entitled to make a claim?

As per the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012, there is a set criteria that the CICA must follow to determine your eligibility to make a claim for compensation.

You could be eligible for compensation if…

… the incident in question was reported to the police as soon as reasonably possible

… the injuries you sustained meet the minimum award of £1,000 (this will be assessed this during our initial free consultation)

… the incident in question happened in England, Scotland or Wales within the last two years
