Criminal Injury Compensation
Accident & Personal Injury law Dublin.
Victims of violent crime can suffer devastating physical and psychological injury. Anderson and Gallagher, Solicitors’ experience in acting for the victims of criminal assaults allows it to readily assess the prospects of success.
If you have been injured as a result of a crime, you can make an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal. The time limit for applications is usually three months although an extension of this period may be allowed in exceptional circumstances.
The scheme of compensation for personal injuries criminally Inflicted pays compensation for expenses and losses suffered as a direct result of a violent crime or trying to assist in preventing a crime or saving a human life. The scheme only covers expenses and bills. It doesn’t compensate you for pain and suffering. When deciding the amount of the award, the tribunal will take into account any compensation paid by or on behalf of the assailant. The crime should be reported to the Gardaí as soon as possible; the tribunal will look for a Garda report on the crime.
