A Criminal Injuries Compensation Claim is a legal process through which individuals who have been injured as a result of a violent crime can seek financial compensation. The compensation is intended to help victims recover from the physical, emotional, and financial impact of the crime they’ve experienced.
In many countries, this type of claim is processed through a government-backed scheme or authority, like the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) in the UK. These programs provide compensation to victims of violent crimes, even if the perpetrator is not caught or prosecuted.
