Criminal Injuries
Have you been the victim of a criminal injury
We endeavour to assist all our clients with handling the legal burden particularly when violent crime is involved. These cases are handled slightly differently from the other categories in that compensation claims where a physical attack or a sexual offence has taken place, must be made within a two-year period and cases will be referred to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The CICA was established by the government to compensate victims of violent crime and the amount of compensation is based on the type and severity of their injuries under a fixed tariff.
