Cases covered by the CICA scheme.

From violent assault, to rape and murder, the CICA scheme is here to help you...

The CICA scheme is designed to compensate the victims of violent assaults, sexual abuse, rapes, domestic violence, and other forms of physical abuse.

Each case is very different, but if you were a victim of an unprovoked assault, you may be eligible.

Detailed below are a few example cases from our client files:

Example Case 1 - Award : £5,150.00

Client was the victim of a random attack in the street in which injuries were caused to his legs.

Example Case 2 - Award : £2,000.00

Client was the victim of violence in her home. The applicant received various injuries leaving visible scarring. The original decision was a rejection from the CICA as they felt that the medical evidence did not support the injuries. The decision was overturned at review, based on further medical evidence and an award was made.

Example Case 3 - Award : £1,000.00 Secondary Victim, £2,000.00 main applicant

''This is a case where a child was the victim of an indecent assault by her stepfather. The mother submitted a claim for her and her child. The mother's claim was accepted as a secondary victim as she had to deal with the aftermath of the event and the trauma that had been caused to her child.

Example Case 4 - Award : £5885.00

Client was a shopkeeper at the time. His assailants entered the shop and assaulted him. He is of Asian background and the incident was racially motivated. The CICA made an initial award to the client for his injuries. However, this offer was low.
