Have you been physically or mentally injured as a result of a criminal offence? If yes, then you might be entitled to compensation as a victim of crime. You may also claim compensation if you are a dependant family member or parent of a homicide victim, or, if you are the parent or guardian of an injured child. Even witnesses sustaining traumatic psychological injuries are entitled to compensation. The Victims of Crime Fund is Government run and can pay compensation to victims of crime for physical and psychological injuries, loss of earning capacity and medical expenses. Many victims of crime do not know about this scheme and often miss out. It is not fair for you to bear the cost of your injuries, together with dealing with your injuries for the next period of your life. The time in which you can claim this compensation is three years, unless you are a minor, then you are entitled to a claim up to the age of 21 years of age. Our costs are paid by the government, which means our assistance with your victims of crime claim is completely free of cost. You have nothing to lose by coming to see one of our lawyers and starting an application for victims of crime compensation.
