Criminal Injury Claims

Although Britain is still largely a safe and peaceful country, violent crime is on the increase. Easier access to weapons, such as knives and guns, and a greater willingness to use them, means that many of our cities - and some occupations - are more dangerous than ever before.

Even a cursory glance at the daily media will confirm that, in some cases, the dangers are more widespread with rises in unprovoked attacks and sexually-motivated crimes.

However, in many cases, it is possible to apply for criminal injury compensation, by making a criminal injury claim to a Government-funded body, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

Corries has a specialist national team for criminal injury compensation or the CICA team, which has expert knowledge of the complex criminal injury claims process and handles a wide range of CICA cases to high standards of legal expertise, sensitivity and client care.

Our criminal injury compensation expertise includes dealing with many extremely serious injuries resulting from violent crimes including physical assaults, rape, sexual abuse, unprovoked attacks and domestic violence - often for clients who are still traumatised. If you have been a victim of crime, compensation may be owed to you.

Criminal injury compensation claims must meet precise criteria. We can advise clients on each stage of the criminal injury claims process. We discuss every aspect of a criminal injury compensation application in detail and assess the chances of success, based on each individual set of circumstances.

Once we have established that our client has a valid criminal injury compensation claim, we deal with the entire application, liaise with the CICA and handle all correspondence.

We have an enviable record of getting negative decisions or inadequate awards overturned through review or appeal applications.
