If you have been injured as a result of a violent crime, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
At Harris Fowler Solicitors, we specialise in helping victims of crime pursue criminal injury compensation claims, ensuring they receive the financial support and justice they deserve.
Our experienced solicitors provide compassionate, confidential legal advice and will guide you through every step of the claims process.
What Is a Criminal Injury Compensation Claim?
A criminal injury compensation claim allows victims of violent crime to seek compensation for physical or psychological injuries. These claims are typically made through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), a government-backed scheme designed to compensate innocent victims of crime in the UK.
You may be eligible to claim compensation if you were injured as a result of:
- Assault or violent attack
- Domestic abuse
- Sexual assault or rape
- Stabbing or shooting
- Robbery involving violence
- Hate crime
- Child abuse
What Can Criminal Injury Compensation Cover?
A successful criminal injury compensation claim may provide financial support for:
- Physical injuries and scarring
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD
- Loss of earnings
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Special expenses (such as care or equipment)
- Fatal injury claims for families of victims
At Harris Fowler Solicitors, we work to ensure that every aspect of your suffering and loss is fully reflected in your claim.
Time Limits for Criminal Injury Claims
In most cases, a criminal injury compensation claim must be made within two years of the incident. However, exceptions may apply, particularly in cases involving:
- Child abuse
- Historical sexual abuse
- Vulnerable victims
Our compassionate and experienced solicitors can advise you on whether you are still eligible to claim.
We combine legal expertise with a sensitive, supportive approach.
We will:
- Assess your eligibility to claim
- Prepare and submit your application to the CICA
- Gather medical and police evidence
- Handle all correspondence on your behalf
- Challenge rejected or undervalued claims
