| Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority |
| The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was set up by the government to pay compensation to victims of violent crime. The CICA do not pay for the costs of a lawyer and you don’t need to use one to make a claim for a criminal injury. You can contact them at www.CICA.gov.uk. |
| |
| But sometimes claiming compensation for criminal injuries can be complicated and you might need legal advice. At GAC, we can help you decide whether you need a lawyer to make a claim or we can give you some basic advice to help you make the claim yourself. |
| |
| Time limits |
It is very important you report the incident to the police as quickly as possible and co-operate fully with their enquiries. If you don’t, the CICA may decide not to pay you compensation. There are also time limits on when you can make a claim for a criminal injury, so you should call GAC as soon as possible. |
