Criminal injury
If you have been a victim of crime then you are likely to suffer trauma, confusion and distress, at least in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
Many victims are unaware of their right to claim compensation for these injuries
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was established to administer the statutory compensation scheme for victims of violent crime. Criminal injuries compensation can be complicated and often requires specialist expertise. At Russell Jones & Walker we assist clients who wish to pursue claims through the CICA.
It is vitally important that you report the incident as quickly as possible to the police and to co-operate fully with their enquiries - failure to do so can entitle the CICA to refuse a compensation payment. You should seek legal advice and pursue your claim as soon as possible as there are time limits on making claims.
With expert advice from Russell Jones & Walker you can optimise your prospects of a fair award of compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
