If you have been the victim of a violent crime and suffered an injury as a result, you have the right to claim damages against the person who injured you. However, very often the identity of that person will not be known or, if it is, they may not have sufficient funds or assets to pay any compensation awarded to you.
In such cases a claim can be made to the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA), a government authority set up to compensate victims of violent crime who may otherwise not be able to recover damages.
Awards by the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority are paid according to a tariff set by parliament and subject to criteria that must be met in order to bring a claim.
