If you are the victim of violence, compensation is often available from a government scheme run by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). These claims may appear straightforward but when the injury is catastrophic they require tactful handling.
Rix & Kay’s extensive experience in these claims helps you obtain a proper award. The maximum allowed under the Government scheme is £500,000 at present. A claim at this level has to be justified by expert evidence. The CICA will often only obtain a report from your GP, which will not be sufficient to prove extensive catastrophic injuries.
