Criminal Injury Compensation Claims and Eligibility

If you have been the victim of a violent crime, you could be eligible to receive financial compensation for your suffering as a result of a criminal injury claim. Our highly trained personal injury solicitors can pursue a criminal injury compensation claim on your behalf for both physical injury and mental distress. If your case is successful you will be entitled to criminal injury compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), this is true even if the criminal has not been prosecuted or traced, as long as you have reported the crime.

To ensure that your criminal injury claim is eligible, before contacting us please read below:

• Have you have been critically injured, allowing you to qualify for a minimum award of (£1,000)?
• Have you been injured in an act of violence in Wales, Scotland or England?
• Have you applied within 2 years of the criminal injury? We may accept applications outside this period if, in your case, it wasn't feasible for an application to be submitted during the 2 year window.

We may also refuse or reduce a criminal injury case because of:

• Your behaviour before, during or after the time/period in which you were injured
• Your criminal record
• If you fail to co-operate with the police
• Your delay in informing the Police of the incident
