Criminal Injury Claims

              Claim the Compensation You Deserve.

Mike Massen of Gartons Solicitors appears on BBC News 24 - November 2008 

Have you suffered injury, either physical or mental, or loss as a result of a violent crime in the past two years? if so Gartons can help you with the recovery of damages from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) on a No Win-No Fee basis. 

The CICA is a government funded body that makes payment to the victims of violent crime; the money comes from the government not your attacker and they will not be told that you are making a claim. Gartons are experts at dealing with the CICA and have helped hundreds of people claim the compensation they deserve.

You can seek compensation if you have been the victim of: 

• A physical assault either by a stranger, acquaintance or member of your family.
• A sexual assault either by a stranger, acquaintance or member of your family. (male)(female).
• A fleeing criminal, e.g. if you were knocked over by a shoplifter running out of the shop.
• A violent crime being committed at your place of work.
• Shock as a result of an assault to a close relative or loved one.
• Trauma-induced epilepsy.

There doesn't have to been a conviction or even an arrest for you to be able to claim compensation just as long as the CICA accept that, more likely than not, you were the victim of a violent crime. 

To qualify for compensation you must:

• have been assaulted in the past two years
• have reported the matter to police promptly
• been to your doctors or hospital with your injuries
• not have been in any way to blame for the assault.
