The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) operates a scheme that compensates victims of crimes of violence.
Many people do not realise that a victim of a police crime of violence is entitled to make a claim under the scheme.
While police compensation claims are generally best brought through the civil courts system, the CICA scheme is designed to be accessible without professional legal representation, so for some people this might be worth considering.
For those who wish to bring a conventional civil claim for compensation for police assault, our team is here to help. We operate a free consultation service and can work on a No Win, No Fee basis.
