Criminal Injury

Expert Legal Support For Victims Of Crime

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is an agency of the Ministry of Justice which pays compensation to victims of violent crime. If you have been the victim of a crime and suffered an injury as a result, our lawyers can help you seek compensation.

Navigating a claim with the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority can be complex and there are strict time limits for applying . Often the initial decision of the CICA has to be appealed and it is important that you are represented by an experienced lawyer so that you secure the compensation that you deserve. Our lawyers will provide you with clear, jargon-free advice and the support you need throughout that process
