In the UK only 1 in 20 of those who are eligible to make a claim for criminal injuries compensation actually do so. Research from victim support shows that this figure is so low as many victims feel the process is to difficult and daunting. At this time, the actual trauma of the assault makes it more difficult for victims to go through the often complex process alone. This is where we at Serious Law can help.

Understanding the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority scheme

Victims of criminal assault are free to apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority scheme as an individual in order to receive compensation. However, the complex nature of applying often leads to this process taking many months, or the incorrect compensation amount being awarded. This is due to a lack of understanding of difficult elements such as special damages. A simple example of this is that 30% of applicants applying without the help of a specialist solicitor fill out the forms incorrectly and have these returned to them. Often, at this point, victims to not continue with the application process, and therefore do not receive the awards to which they are entitled. We at Serious Law are committed to ensuring that this is not the case for our clients.
