Criminal Injuries Compensation Claims

If you or your child have sustained one or more physical and/or psychological injuries because of a violent crime reported to the police, you will be entitled to apply for compensation under a government scheme. These claims are made to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). 

You can apply to the CICA by yourself, without a legal representative. However, a solicitor can help navigate the complexities associated with CICA claims, and can provide expert advise on your eligibility, assist in gathering evidence and ensure the claim is submitted correctly and on time. Once the CICA have made a decision regarding the claim, your solicitor will also be able to advise you upon whether any offers made are reasonable and appeal the decision if necessary. 

We understand the sensitive nature of the circumstances leading to CICA claims and combine our expertise with a supportive and compassionate approach  when dealing with such claims. 

We offer a No Win, No Fee service (also referred to as a Conditional Fee Agreement), so there’s no financial risk to you. If you’ve been injured through no fault of your own, seeking legal advice can help you understand your options. Contact us today to see how we can support your claim, without obligation.
