Criminal Injury Claims
Being attacked or assaulted can be incredibly distressing, leaving victims with both physical and psychological damage. Our experienced criminal injuries lawyers can help you claim the compensation that you deserve and where possible help you get the support that you need to recover from the experience.
How We Handle Criminal Injuries Claims
If you have been injured in a crime of violence, you could be entitled to compensation available through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). This is a government body created to provide compensation to people who suffer injuries in an assault.
We will work with you and the CICA to ensure that you get the best possible compensation available under the rules of the criminal injury scheme. Our expert team can also advise on state benefits and other payments that may be available to you if your injuries have left you unable to work or needing care and support.
It may even be possible to make a criminal injuries claim when the offender is not identified, caught or convicted. Please don’t assume that you will not be able to claim, contact us and we will discuss your options, which may also include civil action or a compensation order from the court.
If your injuries left you needing rehabilitation or other specialist medical treatment, we can offer advice about medical experts and rehabilitation organisations.
Our Experience Of Criminal Injuries Claims
We have helped many clients to claim compensation through the CICA. This experience means we can give you clear, easy-to-understand updates on what is happening with your criminal injuries claim and ensure that you get the best possible compensation settlement.
Claims made through the CICA do need to be handled differently to other compensation claims, and our criminal injury solicitors have the necessary experience to be able to guide you through the process.
Our Commitment To Criminal Injuries Claims
Of course we are fully committed to helping you achieve the best possible compensation settlement.
As well as helping people to claim compensation, we also have a long history of campaigning with leading organisations in a number of personal injury fields. Working with those organisations, we seek to improve the quality of life of those who have suffered injury and to improve health and safety.
Over the years we have been involved in many pioneering legal cases that have improved the prospects of success of claims and allowed clients to obtain fairer compensation payments.
