CRIMINAL INJURIES

& COMPENSATION

Time to take charge

Victim of a crime? Sometimes it can feel like you’re the one left feeling punished.

In some circumstances, victims of crime can make an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Office to receive compensation for injury or loss sustained as a result of an offence or alleged offence.

At Scott & Tam Legal, we’re here to help you get back on your feet.

We can assist you in making claims to cover:

  • Pain and suffering

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Loss of income

  • Treatment expenses and 

  • Other incidental expenses, such as travel for treatment or damage to personal items such as clothing and spectacles

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to will depend on the extent of injuries and the losses suffered.

Our team will help you cut through the confusion to guide you through the process. Whether you choose to seek an interim payment to assist with current medical bills or a final application to cover all current and future costs, we’ll walk you through the entire process.

We will spend one-on-one time with you to ensure you feel comfortable, confident and in control.
