Criminal Injuries Compensation Claims (CICA)

Violent crimes can leave lasting physical and emotional scars, often with life-altering consequences. If you or someone close to you has suffered due to a criminal act, our experienced criminal injury solicitors are here to help you pursue compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

Unlike standard personal injury claims, criminal injury compensation claims in England, Scotland, and Wales are handled through the CICA – a government-funded scheme specifically designed to support victims of violent crime. While the process can be complex, our legal team has the expertise to guide you every step of the way and secure the justice you deserve.

Whether your injuries are physical, psychological, or both, you may be entitled to compensation, even if the offender hasn’t been caught or convicted. For more serious injuries, we can also help you access additional medical treatment and rehabilitation support to aid your recovery.

If you’ve been injured as a result of a crime, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our Criminal Injury Solicitors offer a free, confidential consultation and may be able to help you on a No Win, No Fee basis.
