Criminal Injury Compensation for Domestic Abuse

Can I make a CICA claim?

Whether you have been physically injured, sexually abused or suffered psychological trauma as a child our specialist solicitors could help you claim compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

We appreciate just how distressing it can be and in many cases the psychological scars can far outlast any physical injuries.

For a CICA child abuse compensation claim to be successful, you must have reported the incident to the police.

The first step is to get in touch with us and one of our criminal injury claim experts can conduct a free, confidential, no-obligation, No Win No Fee consultation with you.

How to Make a Criminal Injury Compensation Claim

Our team of Criminal Injury claim experts will liaise with you about what happened so they can see if a claim may be possible.

The first step is to call our Criminal Injury Team, or to fill in the Online Form below.

The information you share with us is always treated confidentially and would only be used by our solicitors in dealing with your claim.

We will be with you every step of the way to guide you through the process.

How much compensation will I get?

Compensation for CICA claims is set at fixed levels depending on the type of injury you have suffered and how the severe those injuries are.

The minimum amount of compensation the CICA scheme awards is £1,000, and this rises up to £500,000 for the most serious injuries.

When we evaluate your claim we will be able to tell you how much compensation you should be eligible for.

How much will making a claim cost?

We undertake all CICA claims on a No Win No Fee basis which offers you peace of mind in knowing that you will not have to pay any money up front and there will be no financial risk if your case is unsuccessful.

If your case is successful, you will only be expected to pay a contribution to your solicitor’s fees once the case has been resolved. The costs paid are usually a percentage of the compensation awarded and will always be agreed with you, before your claim proceeds.
