Unfortunately, every day somewhere in the country, violent crime is affecting peoples lives. We can take precautions by avoiding certain situations but each year thousands of unsuspecting people fall victim and are attacked by people known or unknown to them. These attacks often result in a criminal injury claim being made.

We have solicitors that specialise in criminal injury claims and can claim compensation for your injuries through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The CICA has been set up to ensure victims of violent crime are compensated for their injuries.

Very often the offender may be known to the victim, in which case, the police must be informed and may prosecute this person.

However, the offender does not have to be identified, caught or convicted for you to successfully claim compensation. You must however be prepared to fully co-operate with the police, whether or not the offender is caught. In the event of the police identifying the offender you must be prepared to prosecute if required.

Following an assault, you will need to inform the police. You will also need to seek medical attention for your injuries. Then talk to us to find out if you can claim compensation for your injury.

There is a usual timescale of two years from the date of assault, associated with making a criminal injury claim, however, in certain circumstances such as child abuse or elderly abuse cases these time scales may be waived.

We can also claim through the CICA for Fatal Criminal Compensation, if someone has died as a result of a violent crime.

When someone has been assaulted, the trauma they will go through over the coming days, weeks, months or even years can take its toll. In some serious circumstances this could change a person's character making them nervous or afraid to face the outside world, in fear it may happen again. It is only right therefore, that as a victim you should be compensated for this trauma. It is important that the people you trust with your claim for compensation are understanding of the situation and can be relied upon to progress the claim with the minimum fuss, but to also work hard to win your case for you.

Criminal injury claims work in a different way to standard accident claims on a No Win No Fee basis and the acting solicitor cannot recover their fees from the CICA. Due to this your solicitor will usually deduct 25% of the damages awarded to you. This is a normal percentage for criminal injury assault claims, this will be confirmed by your solicitor prior to working on your claim. If you lose, you will pay absolutely nothing! You will, as with other accident claims, have the peace of mind knowing your claim will be handled by a criminal injury specialist solicitor on a No Win No Fee and therefore a no risk basis.

By contacting our friendly staff today, we can discuss your assault claim circumstances with you, assess your situation and advise you of the next step.

*100% compensation does not apply to untraced drivers or Criminal Injury (assault). In such cases a percentage of the compensation may be deducted by the solicitor.
