Criminal Injuries Compensation Board
Unfortunately, there are far too many victims of violent crime who suffer in silence due to being unaware of what they are entitled to by law. The CICB was set-up to provide compensation to victims of injuries caused by violent attacks, the amount awarded being dependant on a number factors in the case. If you or a relative feel you may have a good claim for compensation for the injuries you received in a violent assault, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us. However, what we do ask of potential claimants is to look at the relevant page on our site regarding factors that could affect whether you are successful in claiming for compensation or not. One thing we would like to point out regarding the success of your claim is that there are always exceptions to the rule with regards to the conditions set by the CICB. Even if you have been previously unsuccessful in a claim for compensation, please don’t be put off making a claim by utilising our professional services. Although we cannot guarantee you will be awarded the amount of money you are entitled to, we promise to do all we can to ensure you are.

Know Your Rights
One thing that victims of violent attacks should never do is listen to misleading or inaccurate advice from people who are not fully aware of all the requirements of claimants in these cases. Victims of assaults resulting in injury are expected to inform the police within 48 hours from the time of the incident. However, if you were unable to contact the authorities in this time due to the severity of your injuries, you may still be eligible for a claim for compensation. Our professional advice to victims of violent assaults is to get in contact with us regardless of whether you feel you have a valid claim or not. Criminal injury compensation is the right for every UK citizen as long as you meet all the requirements according to the law to make such a claim. Medical experts that we will approach on your behalf will be able to assess the amount of compensation you should be eligible for in relation to medical treatment needed as a result of an assault. In many cases, victims will be compensated an amount reflecting their loss of earnings as a direct result of the injuries they received in an attack.
