Criminal Injury

You may be entitled to compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act, if you are: - a victim of an offence and are injured and/or experience financial loss as a result of the injury; or - a close relative of a person killed as a result of an offence, e.g. a spouse, de-facto, parent, grandparent, step-parent, child, step-child, or grandchild. Compensation is available for injury, including bodily harm, mental and nervous shock, or pregnancy, and incorporates pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Compensation can be sought for an incident reported to the police regardless of whether the assailant has been identified, charged, or convicted of the offence. Radek can assist in maximising your entitlements by getting the necessary medical and other evidence as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please be aware that there are strict time limits for making a claim, so see an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
