Criminal Injuries

If a person has suffered more than minor injuries as a result of a crime of violence and provided that the person did not engage in negligent or provocative behaviour, that person might be entitled to Criminal Injuries Compensation for their injuries.

We represent and have represented numerous clients in such applications to Compensation Services, a government agency set up to deal with such claims.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme is one through which it is difficult to navigate, without expert knowledge. We have successfully represented clients in applications to Compensation Services including cases where clients have suffered life changing injuries as a result of assault.
