Accident Claims

Criminal Injury Solicitors

Not many people realise that if your injury is the result of a criminal act you may be entitled to claim compensation. This can cover not only your injuries but expenses such as loss of earnings or the cost of ongoing rehabilitation or care. Our team of no win, no fee solicitors can help you to make a criminal injury compensation claim.

Criminal injury claims are administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). However you still need advice from a specialist solicitor so if you are a victim of a violent crime please contact us and we will help you through the criminal injury claims process. Many criminal injury claims are rejected each year by the Authority but with our expertise you can ensure that your interests are protected when you are vulnerable at this difficult time. As with other injury claims, we operate on a No Win, No Fee basis. However, because this is a Government scheme, the rules on how these fees are claimed in criminal injury compensation cases are slightly more complex. Please contact us for a full explanation of the differences between this and other forms of injury claim.

You can call us on FREEPHONE 0800 731 7923 or you can fill in the claim form or e-mail us on claims@claimssolicitors.co.uk
