Costs of a Personal Injury Defence Solicitor
Most claims we handle are on a ‘no win no fee’ basis, so if you do not succeed with your case you do not have to pay our costs.
Who Can Apply For Criminal Injuries Compensation?
In most cases, if you want to make a claim for criminal injuries compensation, you must apply within two years of the event. You can claim if:
- You were injured
- A close relative died
- You saw the crime happen to a loved one
- You paid for the funeral of a person who died
You might also be able to make a claim if you were injured trying to stop a crime, as long as the risk was justified.
The crime must be reported to the police before you apply.
