Types of injury compensation
Types of injury
Through the CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority), you can claim for a variety of injuries resulting from violent crimes, including:
Physical injuries, such as those resulting from assault.
Psychological injuries, for instance, from threats of violence.
Injuries from sexual abuse, including
historical childhood abuse.
Injuries from domestic abuse.
Injuries sustained as a result of human trafficking or acts of terrorism.
A fixed payment for the death of a loved one as a result of a crime of violence
The CICA Scheme aims to provide compensation for a wide range of injuries, including physical and mental harm, as well as instances of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
However, compensation is awarded solely for injuries that meet the specific criteria outlined in the Scheme. Injuries of lesser severity, such as bruises, a broken nose, or lacerations without significant scarring, usually do not qualify for compensation under the Scheme’s parameters.
