If you have been the victim of a crime that was intentional, this can involve not only physical injury but also emotional trauma.

Depending upon the circumstances, you may be able to make a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) which is a scheme set up by the government to provide compensation for those who have suffered an injury as a result of a crime.

It is important to report the incident to the police as soon as possible and obtain a crime reference number. An application would need to be made within 2 years of the incident taking place although there are some exceptions to this.

To find out whether or not you have a claim then please contact us for a free informal chat with no obligation.
