Although the overall number of criminal injury reports fell for the most part in 2012, there are still a significantly high number of criminal injury offenses each year. From homicide, to sexual offences, kidnappings, theft and armed robbery: there was an excess of 400,000 reported cases last year alone, meaning many more have gone unaccounted for. A criminal injury offence can play a huge role on the life or lives of its victim(s). Criminal injury crimes often affect people on both a physical and psychological level. During a criminal offence injuries are often sustained as one tries to protect oneself from robbery, assault or abduction. Later one’s injuries and/ or scars become a constant reminder of the horrific event thus having a negative impact on one’s psychological mind set. As such the Criminal Injury Compensation Scheme was introduced to assist victims of crimes financially during the difficult time post incident. If you have been injured as a result of a crime, you may be eligible to make criminal injury compensation claim that is a claim for compensation for personal injuries criminally inflicted. Compensation is awarded for expenses and losses suffered as a direct result of a violent crime or whilst assisting or trying to assist in preventing a crime or saving a human life. By law the injured person or parties may seek compensation for injuries. In cases where the person has died the immediate family of the victim can claim compensation. Moreover, if you are responsible for looking after the victim and are out-of-pocket as a result of his or her injuries, you may claim compensation. There are grave complexities to the requirements under which one may make a criminal injury compensation claim. Therefore it is always best to first seek the advice of a personal injury solicitor before proceeding with such a claim. Furthermore it is crucial that when you have been the victim of a vicious crime that you report the incident as soon as possible to a member of the Gardaí, this can later be relied upon as evidence in court. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is an organization of the government which decides the amount of compensation offered to the victims of crime. It controls the criminal injuries compensation scheme, a fund that is used to support victims of crime. It is important to note that although your legal fees will not be covered under a criminal injury compensation claim, it is still advisable to have a professional at your side every step of the way to ensure maximum compensation is obtained. A personal injury solicitor or even road traffic accident solicitors specializing in criminal injuries compensation claims will be more than capable of answering all of your questions, reassuring you and indeed making a valid case on your behalf.
