Criminal Injuries

Criminal injuries can be amongst the worst kind, often causing psychological trauma as well as physical injuries. If you have been the victim of a criminal assault then you may be entitled to personal injury compensation under the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority Scheme (CICA).
If you have been the victim of an attack, perhaps on a night out, and the attack was unprovoked then it is important that you contact us today. As Manchester based personal injury specialists we offer support to those who have been the victim of an attacker, and although we can’t help with the physical scars we can help you gain the compensation you rightly deserve which will hopefully go some way to helping you put things back together.
As long as the criminal injuries were caused by an attack which was unprovoked then we can help, and under the CICA scheme you can claim for personal injury compensation. Perhaps you were enjoying a night out, and perhaps you’d had a few drinks and were considered an easy target. Unfortunately alcohol and drugs often play a part in causing an attacker to behave in an aggressive way, often to complete strangers. In many cases it’s simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the experience can be shocking.
As long as the attack was unprovoked we can help you file for personal injury compensation. Whether your attack has resulted in you having to take time off work, perhaps suffering a loss of earnings, or even having to cancel holidays, trips or other engagements, the compensation you could be awarded will be necessary to allow you to move on from the incident without having to pay the price for someone else’s criminal behaviour.
In some cases criminal injuries are the result of a criminal assault by a person who’s already known to the victim. This may even be within the home, and sadly domestic abuse is a very serious issue, although often one that’s not openly discussed enough. If you have been the victim of an assault in your own home by someone with whom you may still be in a relationship, or from whom you may have since separated, then call us today and we’ll help to arrange your claim for personal injury compensation.
If you’re in the Manchester area then we can help. When you call us you won’t be put through to any pushy sales people, nor will your call be transferred around customer services. You’ll be speaking with a genuine personal injury specialist, and as we’re based in Manchester itself you’re assured a friendly northern service that’s putting the ‘personal’ into personal injury specialists!
Criminal assault is a terrible thing, but sadly it is still a daily occurrence. Whether you knew your attacker or not, whether it took place in a public place or at home, if the attack was unprovoked we can help you gain the compensation that’s rightly yours.
