Criminal Injury Compensation

If you are reading this no doubt you have been the innocent victim of a crime of violence.

The government provides a criminal injury compensation scheme and will compensate a victim of crime.

At present the injury must warrant damages of not less than £1,000.

It is important that the incident is reported to the police immediately as failure to do so can prejudice a claim

Again, like other personal injury claims, time limits within which the claim must be pursued apply.

A prompt and well presented application can improve your chances of success.
