Making a CICA abuse claim
We have a team of specialist lawyers handling CICA abuse and sexual assault claims nationwide. on a no win, no fee basis.
Abuse law is a complex and highly specialised area of legal practice. It is therefore important to choose solicitors who are experienced in this field and familiar with the specific legal issues that commonly arise.
We are members of ACAL, the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers and our work in this area has been recognised by the highly influential guide to the legal profession, the Legal 500.
We deal with abuse and sexual assault claims sensitively, discreetly and confidentially.
We appreciate that it can sometimes be difficult for victims of abuse to confront their experiences and we are therefore always happy to take things one step at a time, at your own pace.
Our expertise in the area of abuse compensation enables us to deal with objections from the CICA relating to issues such as time limits and delays. This can be particularly important where historic abuse is concerned as was the case in this claim where our clever detective work paid off.
Although the CICA scheme requires applications to be made within two years of the incident being reported, time limits are often extended in cases of sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, so please do not let worries about delay put you off making a claim.
We are able to maximise compensation awards. In one recent case a client’s award was increased by over £300,000 as a result of our involvement. In another case which you can read about here, we successfully argued on Review for an abuse survivor’s compensation to be increased from £11,000 to over £69,000. In another claim that you can read about here, we recovered £231,000 for a man who had been abused in childhood.
CICA abuse, rape and sexual assault claims can be dealt with on a No Win, No Fee basis, so you should not let fear of legal costs deter you from appointing a specialist solicitor to fight your case for you.
