Have you been assaulted and injured by another person - call us for a confidential chat on making a claim
There are a number of ways you can claim for compensation if you have been assaulted whilst present in the UK.
Firstly, you can launch a claim against the person responsible. This can be quite difficult to do as, even in the event you win your case, actually enforcing judgment is difficult to do.
Secondly, if the attack took place at a work place and you can be prove that your employer put you into this position; it is possible to claim against your employer and gain compensation from their insurance company.
Finally, there is a government department set up for claims of this nature – the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (C.I.C.A.). This route can be an easier option but you should note the following:
- Your claim must be less than 2 years old
- This isn’t part of our 100% compensation scheme
- Your claim must be worth at least £1000 – they will only deal with serious injury
In any event, you should report the incident to the police authority as soon as possible to gain a crime reference number. We also advise you take pictures of your injuries so that these are on record.
Our solicitors are very skilled at what they do and will ensure you get the best possible treatment and professional service for your criminal assault claim.
Why you should work with us?
- There is no upfront loan as with some other claims companies
- No credit agreements
- No Win No Fee agreement means that you do not have to pay your own legal fees even if you lose your claim
How much can I claim?
The value of your claim is dependent on many factors:
- The period of time you have taken to recover
- If you have had time off work
- If you needed members of family to assist you
- Any extra treatment
- Additional travelling expenses
As a rule of thumb - the more serious the injury and the longer it took you to recover the higher the value of the claim. Our claims calculator will help you to estimate what the value of your claim could be.
If you are unsure or would like a more accurate figure, get in touch or request a call back for a confidential chat with one of our solicitors. This is completely free for you.
