If you, a family member or a friend have sustained injury as a result of a criminal act then you may be able to apply for compensation through the Government’s Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, usually referred to as the CICA.
The CICA will investigate your claim and if they agree to deal with your claim then they will instruct the relevant medical expert to prepare a report on your injury.
The claim is processed through the CICA’s claim portal on their website. Based upon the medical report the CICA will offer you a sum in compensation for your injury and certain out of pocket expenses.

We are usually able to offer no win, no fee agreements (also known as Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFAs)) to our personal injury clients. In ‘no win, no fee’ agreements there are no up-front costs for you and if you don’t win, we don’t get paid.

In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
