WHO AM I CLAIMING CRIMINAL INJURY COMPENSATION FROM?

This depends on the crime and how the injury occurred. Even if you don’t know who did the crime, or if the person who did it can’t pay, you could still receive compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

CICA provides financial compensation for victims of crime when the person who committed the crime cannot pay or when they are unknown.
Each claim is assessed individually. Your solicitor can tell you how you will be paid if your compensation claim is successful.

HOW DO I CLAIM FOR CRIMINAL INJURIES?

To start your claim for criminal injury compensation, contact us online or call us.

A member of our team will contact you for a confidential chat about the crime that took place and how you were injured.

In order to make a criminal injury claim, you will need a crime reference number from the incident. Usually, you will have to have reported the crime to the police within 48 hours of it happening, but there are exceptions to this rule. Each case will be assessed individually.

It’s important to note that the legal deadline for making a personal injury claim in the UK is three years from the date of the accident/injury, however, if you’re claiming compensation for a criminal injury through CICA, the deadline is shorter.

Claiming criminal injury compensation can be complex, but Porter Wood Law is here to help. Simply give us the details of the crime and injury, and we’ll take care of the rest. Your solicitor can advise whether you have a case for compensation, talk you through the process and might give an estimate of how much compensation you could receive.

This consultation is totally free, and you’re under no obligation whatsoever to proceed with a claim even after speaking to us.

If you think receiving compensation for your criminal injury could help you on the road to recovery, contact us now.

Thanks to all the team at Porterwood,  and Craig the Solicitor whom dealt and won my claim . My claim was a fall from height to which I sustained a serious injury back in 2018 and led to quite a long recovery.  My case was dealt with very professionally and thoroughly and Craig managed to get me interim payments along the way and also payments for private physiotherapy  from the Defendants insurance which was of great help at the time .
This is a great firm to use and I would  definitely recommend them , they will give you realistic advice and have the use of numerous professionals in their field to help build your case .
Thanks again,
Sam .

Od momentu zgłoszenia sprawy do momentu wypłaty pieniędzy minęły zaledwie cztery miesiące. Sam proces zgłoszenia, prowadzenia sprawy oraz formalności na najwyższym poziomie. W razie pytań Pan Norbert był praktycznie cały czas dostępny pod telefonem i potrafił rozwiać każda wątpliwość. Polecam każdemu, który uległ wypadkowi i liczy na szybkie oraz bezproblemowe załatwienie sprawy.
