"Rules for claiming an award for criminal injuries compensation are increasingly complex. We provide value by ensuring that from the start of the claim until the receipt of your award you are provided with the best possible advice and assistance to be successful and to maximise your award" - Gary Porter, Legal Executive.
We are able to provide clients who have been injured with a comprehensive service. From the gathering of information, to completing the application form and dealing with any reviews and appeals, our experienced team are familiar with the complex Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority scheme rules and can provide you with the best possible advice.
After drafting your statement and submitting your application, we will then provide expert advice regarding the initial outcome of your application, advising you about the amount of the award, and the steps to take if the award is too low.
If necessary, we will attend the Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals Tribunal to represent you at the hearing of your disputed claim. Our experienced advocates can provide you with the best chance of a favourable outcome.
Fees
In appropriate cases, we are able to deal with your case under a Contingency Fee Agreement.
Contingency Fee Agreements allow us to deal with your case without you making any payment from your own pocket for our legal fees as the case progresses.
In the event that you lose your claim, we will not receive any payment and you will not pay anything.
In the event that you win your claim, we will receive an agreed share of the award that you recover (normally 30% plus VAT).
Contingency Fee Agreements allow you to receive expert advice without the risk of making payment until an award has been recovered on your behalf and are a popular way for clients to pursue this type of claim.
Geographical Coverage
Emmetts Solicitors are able to provide an excellent service to clients for criminal injury claims throughout all areas of England and Wales. Where necessary, we will arrange for suitably experienced and qualified staff to attend at the appeals tribunals on your behalf.
