Criminal injury compensation lawyers

Criminal injuries

If you have been an innocent victim of a crime of violence, then you may be able to claim compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). There is no need to wait for a successful criminal prosecution in order to make a claim. To qualify for compensation you need to claim within two years of the crime being committed. You must also have reported the crime to the police as soon as possible. You can claim for both physical or mental injury - but only those mental injuries which are defined by the scheme.
