Have You Been a Victim of Violent Crime? We Can Help You Secure the Compensation You Deserve.
If you or someone you care about has suffered from a violent crime, you may be entitled to compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The road to recovery after a traumatic experience can be overwhelming, but at [Your Law Firm Name], we are dedicated to helping victims across England and Wales get the support and financial compensation they deserve. Our experienced team will guide you every step of the way.
Understanding CICA Claims
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) offers compensation to those who have suffered physical or psychological injuries due to violent crime. This could be anything from a street attack to domestic violence or even hate crimes. The compensation is intended to help victims with medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and other financial burdens caused by the crime.
To qualify for compensation, certain criteria must be met:
The crime must be a violent act, such as assault, robbery, or abuse.
The incident must have been reported to the police as soon as possible after it occurred.
Your application must be submitted within two years of the incident (though in exceptional cases, the deadline may be extended).
You must have experienced physical or emotional harm directly resulting from the crime.
