Have you been a victim of
Criminal Injury?

Criminal injury claims typically involve an instance of physical harm. However, criminal injury compensation claims may also be available in cases of psychological trauma. For example, you may be entitled to compensation if you have experienced the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder. This could occur following an attack that did not necessarily end in physical injury, or could be as a result of witnessing a violent crime.

With this in mind, anyone who believes that they have suffered an injury in a situation where the other party’s actions could be classed as criminal may have cause to pursue a criminal injury compensation claim.

Criminal injuries can include:

• Sexual assault
• Psychological abuse
• Physical violence (including domestic violence)
• Vehicle collision where you were deliberately targeted
• Dog attack where the dog was encouraged by the owner
• Death caused by a criminal act (claim brought by the estate and/or dependant(s)
