The injuries that can be sustained in a criminal attack or assault are not always just physical; they can also cause severe psychological harm, for example, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
We have helped clients who have found themselves victims of sexual and physical assaults.
Experience has given us knowledge of how being the victim of crime affects people in different ways. Our solicitors will work diligently to get you compensation for the physical and/or mental injury you have suffered. When instructing us, you can be assured of receiving legal advice and representation of the highest quality, delivered in a sensitive, caring, confidential manner.
If you have suffered a physical or mental injury as a result of a criminal assault, you could be entitled to compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
Call: 01429 225200The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) is a government funded scheme designed to compensate blameless victims of violent crime in Great Britain. The scheme is administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).
If you have been assaulted as the result of being an innocent bystander at a criminal incident, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation, even if the person who committed the crime has not been charged or even caught.
You may also claim if you have lost a loved one due to a violent crime.
The maximum amount of compensation which can be awarded under the CICS is £500,000.
We have managed many compensation claims for victims of crime and can provide you with an estimate of how much compensation you are likely to receive under the CICS.
Many victims of crime require ongoing rehabilitation and counselling. Claiming compensation can help you fund your recovery and ensure you and your family are free from financial concerns if you have to take time off work.
If your claim is complex, for example, the perpetrator has never been identified or caught, it involves claiming for a child under 18 years, you have received life-changing injuries, or more than two years have passed since the crime, we can advise and represent you.
We offer no win, no fee arrangements, meaning if we are unable to secure compensation on your behalf, you will not pay any legal fees.
When you instruct us, you can be assured of receiving compassionate, knowledgeable, professional advice and representation from a fully regulated, quality-focused law firm.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme was introduced to compensate innocent victims of violent crimes who have no recourse to compensation against the assailant, usually because the assailant has no monies or properties with which to compensate their victim.
