Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Armed forces personnel operate in some of the most dangerous environments and conditions in the world. However, a criminal attack, whether in the UK or abroad can cause just as much distress and injury as it would to a civilian. Numerous parties could potentially be liable for the distress and injury you have suffered as a result of a criminal injury.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your criminal assault claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to criminal injury and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Criminal Injury Of Military Personnel With Expertise And Sensitivity
If you have been attacked or assaulted in the UK or abroad in a criminal attack, Irwin Mitchell can look after you and take care of your legal requirements in pursuing a criminal injury claim for your injuries.
If you have been injured in a criminal attack whilst serving in the Army, Royal Navy or RAF, you may be entitled to specialist criminal injury compensation available through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), which is a government body created to compensate innocent victims of crime, or through the MoD’s Criminal Injuries (Overseas) Scheme.
Even if the offender is not identified, caught by the civilian or Service police or convicted, a successful claim can still be made. Before you make any assumptions about the likely success or failure of your criminal injury case contact Irwin Mitchell solicitors for advice.
Our lawyers have an in-depth knowledge of the workings of the CICA and the way in it processes criminal injury claim applications. We have established working relationships with various medical experts and specialist rehabilitation companies and can advise on the options available to you when making a criminal injury claim.
