NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL INJURY CLAIM UK
COMPENSATION ADVICE

Criminal Injury Claim UK is an independent legal service which assists those who have been the victims of violent assault. If you would like free advice and information on making a criminal injuries compensation claim for physical or psychological trauma then just complete the contact form and we will telephone you at no cost and with no obligation. We work on a completely risk free no win no fee basis and we make no charge for our service unless you succeed in claiming compensation. If you initial application is rejected under the criminal injury compensation scheme we will apply to the independent Appeals Panel at no extra cost to you and if an appeal is unsuccessful you will not be charged one penny. The CICA do not pay legal charges and if your claim is successful there will be a deduction from the monies paid to you to cover the cost of legal fees incurred on your behalf. Do yourself justice and give us a call.

Criminal Injury Claim UK can make an application for compensation if you have been violently assaulted and suffered a personal injury even if there is no conviction or if your assailant is unknown provided that the incident was reported promptly to the police. To qualify for a CICA tariff scheme award you must have suffered an injury either physical or psychological which caused you to visit a doctor at least twice and from which you did not recover for at least 6 weeks.
