You can pursue both a Criminal Injury Compensation claim and a civil claim at the same time. If you are successful in both claims then you will need to repay money to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, as you are not able to receive compensation twice for the same injury.
Applications must be made to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority within two years of the date of an incident. However, this time limit can be extended if there are exceptional circumstances. If a civil claim can be made then court proceedings do need to be started within three years of an incident.
However, again, time can be extended. We can assist in making the claim and dealing with any queries that the Compensation Authority have, or if they refuse an award for some reason which we think is unjust, by appealing the decision. We can also assist in negotiating the best settlement.
We are usually paid by taking a percentage of the compensation once negotiated, so that there is no cost to the victim if they do not succeed and if they do succeed, payment is only at the end of the claim.
We can advise you on the most appropriate way to fund a claim. Each situation is unique but with our experience we can help you get the help you need and offer advice on making a claim for compensation.
