Criminal Injury

If you have suffered an injury as a victim of crime, you have a right to claim compensation. Credit Crunch UK can help if you have been the victim of criminal injury by guiding you through your compensation claim and helping you find the right rehabilitation and support for your injury.

Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was set up by the government to pay compensation to victims of violent crime. You can contact CICA on its official site.

CICA does not pay for the cost of a lawyer. and you can make a claim without using one, but it can be helpful to receive expert legal advice - especially as compensation claims over criminal injury can become very complicated.

Credit Crunch UK will only advise you to use a lawyer when we think you need one and are always happy to offer you some basic advice on how to make a claim yourself.

Time limits

It is essential that you report the incident that caused your personal injury to the police as quickly as possible, co-operating fully with their enquiries. If you hesitate, the CICA may decide against paying you compensation. There are also time limits on when you can make a claim for a criminal injury - call Credit Crunch UK today to get help immediately.
