Criminal Injuries Compensation Solicitor

If you have been an innocent victim of a violent crime, you may be able to make a compensation claim from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Farleys Solicitors can advise you on a no win no fee basis on whether you qualify for compensation and on how to proceed with your claim.

Do I qualify for a Criminal Injuries Claim?

The criminal injury must have happened in Great Britain (Scotland, Wales or England) and must also be serious enough to qualify for the minimum tariff award of £1000. In addition, you need a crime reference number from the police, and you must not have contributed to the incident in any way. For example, if you were injured in a fight if you started the fight or goaded your attacker in any way you may not qualify for compensation.

Can I claim compensation for a fatal injury to a loved one?

If you are the spouse, partner, parent or child of a person who died as a result of a criminal injury, you may also be able to claim compensation for the loss of your loved as well as a payment to compensate you for funeral expenses.
