In 2004/05 the British Police announced reported incidents of violent crime had reached over a million cases.

Our dedicated criminal injuries experts can offer support in pursuing a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The CICA is a government funded body, which was created for the sole purpose of providing state compensation to the victims of violent crime in the UK. You can also claim through the CICA, for Fatal Criminal Compensation if someone you care about has died as the result of a criminal act.

With any violent crime it is important that your first step is to report the matter to the police and seek medical attention for your injuries.

To receive compensation from public funds it is important that the victim should co-operate with the authorities to bring the offender to justice.

You can claim compensation for injuries sustained in a violent crime within 2 years of the crime itself. The only exception to this rule is in cases of abuse, due to the sensitive nature of these cases and the fact they are rarely reported at the time of the incident.

Compensation-Experts can help you to claim for compensation if you have fallen victim to violent crime. Crimes of violence usually involve a physical attack on the person, for example assaults, wounding and sexual offences.

A charge for these services will be levied by the solicitor should you wish to engage their services, alternatively you may cosult directly wiht the CICA at no cost.
