At SFR Solicitors, we guide victims of violent crime through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme, a UK government initiative that provides financial support to individuals injured physically or mentally due to violent crime.Our legal team works with medical professionals to support you from start to finish.
We begin with a free consultation to assess your eligibility for a CICA claim. During this stage, we explain how the CICA scheme and process works, address your questions, and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
With your consent, we securely manage the exchange of information with the CICA and other parties, ensuring your claim progresses efficiently and your privacy remains protected.
Medical evidence is important to establish injury and impact. We will guide you on what is needed, work with medical professionals where appropriate, and ensure this stage is handled sensitively, prioritising your comfort and wellbeing. Where the Authority wishes to obtain evidence itself, we will liaise accordingly.

During the review the Authority may request further information. We act as your point of contact, providing timely responses and addressing any queries. If you disagree with the outcome, we can advise on and, where appropriate, pursue an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal.
If your claim is successful, the Authority will assess compensation based on your injuries and the impact they have had. We explain the outcome and next steps, and we remain available for follow-up support.
With SFR Solicitors, you can expect a clear and efficient process that prioritises your needs. Contact us today to find out whether you may be eligible to make a claim under the Scheme.
