CICA claims for Victims of Crimes

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is a government funded scheme that was established to compensate people who have been injured as a result of a crime.

If you have been injured as a result of a crime you may be able to make a claim for compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. A Crime of violence can be an assault, injuries sustained in a road accident if the vehicle was used as a weapon, sexual abuse, rape, arson, poisoning, in fact any injuries you have sustained by whatever crime even injuries sustained in terrorist attacks. This firm offered assistance in the London Bombings.

Whilst you do not need a lawyer to conduct a claim under the CICA a lawyer specialised in dealing with these type of cases can make a difference to the compensation you receive as well as taking the strain out of the form filling and keeping on top of the work. Unlike insurance companies in other injury cases the CICA will not pay any legal costs. However, to provide you with certainty this firm will take the matter on under a Contingency Fee Agreement and only take a percentage from any compensation to cover all legal costs and that percentage will be agreed with you beforehand. The good news is that if you are not successful with your application you do not need to pay our legal costs. Compensation is awarded according to a tariff and this is one of the reasons why a specialised lawyer can assist in ensuring that you are awarded the appropriate amount of money for your injuries. The Minimum award under this Scheme is £1000.

The CICA have a strict “eligibility” criteria and this firm will assist in advising you in respect of this criteria and also assisting that you do not inadvertently breach the criteria.

It is important to note that in claims under the CICA scheme there is a TWO year time limit from the date the injuries were sustained unlike other personal injury claims.
