If you have been the victim of a crime of violence, such as an unprovoked assault, we can help you apply for compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme. We recognise that these incidents are distressing since they usually involve physical or sexual assault or a mugging.
It is vital that the incident is reported to the Police as soon as possible and that your CICA claim is brought within two years. Even if the assailant cannot be found or charged with a criminal offence, you may still succeed with a claim for compensation.
We have specialist expertise in dealing with CICA claims. We handled a number of CICA claims on behalf of victims of the London Bombings and recovered substantial amounts of compensation for them.
