criminal injuries compensation

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was established in 1964 to manage the criminal injuries compensation scheme in Britain. They are responsible for the administering of criminal injury compensation to those who have been injured as a result of crime in England. Since its introduction it has provided some tangible acknowledgement of society's sympathy for innocent victims of violent crime.

It has been reported that the family of a man who was killed when he was hit by a dumper truck is planning to make an accident claim. The man who was from a suburb of Rugby, Warwickshire died from his injuries four days after the accident.

A little girl who was shaken so violently by her evil father that she went blind has been awarded £500,000 compensation. Amy Laycock, four, was left blind and brain-damaged after her father attacked her in hospital.
