CICA and criminal claims
If you have been injured as a result of a violent crime or criminal activity, you might be entitled to compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Our dedicated team will help you achieve the compensation you deserve.
Some common examples of cases we have successful won for personal injury clients are:
- Attacks in pub and clubs
- Glass attacks outside pubs
- Child abuse victims
- Victims of racial attacks
- Sexual assault and rape casesshaken baby claims
- Employees being caught up in armed robberies whilst at work
- Facial and dental injuries
- Psychological injury
- Accidental or deliberate injury
There are many other types of claim and we can advise whether your claim is suitable for CICA compensation.
The CICA will award compensation for more than 400 different types of physical and psychiatric injuries. Awards range between £1,000 and £250,000.
Who can claim?
Our specialist personal injury team is able to act on behalf of any individual who has been injured as a result of a crime of violence. Our dedicated team will help you achieve the compensation you deserve.
What does it cost?
The CICA will not pay for applicant’s solicitors costs. Therefore, your costs will need to be paid from any successful compensation you receive from the CICA. Here at Linder Myers personal injury department we understand the importance of the compensation you receive and therefore we can offer a contingency fee agreement which fixes the percentage of costs you pay to us to cover your costs.
The CICA will consider compensating for injuries sustained, loss of earnings (after 28 weeks) and future treatment costs.
