If you've sustained a criminal injury, then you'll know just how distressing it can be. Whether you've been injured or experienced psychological trauma because of a violent crime, our solicitors could help you claim compensation.
Our team of specialist lawyers have helped thousands of clients with their criminal injury compensation claims.
We’ve also helped people claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme. The CICA is a government body that operates a compensation scheme for the victims of violent crime in England, Scotland, and Wales. It was set up to help those who’ve been physically or mentally injured through criminal violence.
Violent crimes we've supported clients in claiming for include:
- Assaults
- Hit-and-run incidents
- Infant assaults (often known as “shaken baby” cases)
- Terrorist attacks.
Why choose Irwin Mitchell to help with your criminal injury compensation claim?
Criminal injury claims are different to other personal injury claims, so it's important to choose a solicitor who fully understands how they work.
Our personal injury team is the largest in the UK, and it contains dedicated criminal injury lawyers who work solely on claims of this kind. They've dedicated their lives to helping the victims of assaults, and they can help you too.
Many people who are meant to give support after such a traumatic experience don't look beyond the physical injury caused by an attack or an assault. We understand that the damage caused in these situations goes beyond the physical – often, the psychological harm is far longer lasting.
With the help of our Support and Rehabilitation Coordinators, you’ll get access to the right support for your needs. This could be physical, emotional, or financial support. Any support we do get for you will be local to you.
Some criminal injury claims can lead to large sums of compensation. Our Asset Management team will help you manage and invest your money. This’ll make sure the money is there for you when you need it.
