Criminal Injury Claims

If you have been the victim of a violent crime, you may be able to claim for damages with the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), which is a government funded scheme.

If you think you may have a claim, contact your Trade Union Officer in the first instance. They will then put you in touch with us.

Our expert lawyers will explain how the scheme operates and will advise whether you have a claim. You may be eligible for an award for your injury and if you can prove loss of earnings or other losses, you may receive extra compensation.
