Victims of Crime

Criminal injury compensation is one of our core specialisms.

If you’ve been the victim of crime that has caused a physical or mental injury, you may be entitled to compensation under the terms of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme.

We’ve secured huge compensation amounts for victims of common assault, domestic violence, attempted murder, mugging, robbery, rape, sexual abuse, grievous bodily harm, affray, anti-social behaviour, carjacking, dog bites.... the list goes on.

Our 100% guarantee means that Price & Slater will give you a clear indication of the validity of your claim and the level of compensation to which you may be entitled.

Crime victims need no longer suffer injustice in silence. We’ll help you to claim you lawful entitlement.

If you fall into one of these groups and have suffered as a result, do contact us. We can quickly establish whether you have a valid claim or not.

 

Physical assault 

If you’ve been assaulted or attacked in the street or in a public place – we’ll help you get the compensation you deserve. This may have happened in a pub, a town centre, at a football match or outside a night club. It may have happened while you were at school or college or on public transport. It may have happened in hospital or in a care home.

Our experts are specially trained to deal with physical assaults you may have suffered.

Ring us at Price & Slater on 0161 615 5554 if you have been harmed in a public place or contact us via email.

 

 

Violence in the Home/ Domestic Violence 

Some people find themselves living in circumstances where they are exposed to the risk of violent crime.

If you are one of them and a crime has affected you, or your children or family, physically or psychologically, we can help.

People experience domestic violence from partners, siblings, parents, grandparents, grand children and friends.

If you have reported this to the police you may be able to claim compensation for the injuries you have sustained. A claim can be brought for physical or emotional injuries and neglect.

Don’t delay in contacting us. There are time limits on bringing claims so it is important you contact us as soon as you can. If you prefer for a support worker to contact us on your behalf then please pass our details on.

We will deal with your case in complete confidence. Don’t wait.

 

 

Nursing home abuse 

We hear some shocking stories of physical and mental abuse that happen in UK nursing homes.

The welfare of our clients is paramount to us – so is supporting your family.

A whole range of people who work in the healthcare and social service sectors - nurses, doctors, theatre and ward staff, admin staff, attendants, security staff, health visitors, care workers, drivers, paramedics – should all have your best interests at heart.

The sad fact is, many of them don’t. The abuse of vulnerable people still goes on.

Physical and mental injuries are not uncommon.

The provision of mental health services in the UK ranges from counsellors based in GP surgeries, to hospitals detaining psychiatric patients, and whilst people with psychiatric difficulties are entitled to the same standard of care as patients exhibiting physical problems, on occasions that care falls below such a standard.

Do something about it.

 

 

Violence at Work 

Some jobs are more dangerous than others. If you’re on the wrong end of a physical attack in the front line of duty – we can help you to get compensation.

You might be a teacher or lecturer, a police officer, ambulance worker, fire officer, prison officer, social worker, support worker, nurse or health worker. You may be on the front line in public services. People who work on public transport, who drive taxis and people who work in shops, pubs, restaurants and take aways can be vulnerable to abusive behaviour and violence at times. The perpetrator needn’t be a customer or client, it may be some who you work with or even your boss.Contact us to see what we can do.

 

 

Sexual assault and sexual abuse 

We’re experienced in claiming compensation for people who have suffered sexual abuse.

We’ve worked with many female and male clients from all different backgrounds who have suffered rape, sexual abuse and indecent assault. This may have been a single incident or ongoing for some time. The offender may have been a family member or a “friend” of the family. It may have been a carer or a teacher, a health worker or someone in a position of trust. It may have been someone you work with. It may have been a stranger. This makes no difference.

If this is what has happened to you, and the police have been involved or will be involved - contact us. You should be eligible for compensation.

We will deal with your case absolutely confidentially and sensitively.

We try to help women, men and children recover from sexual crime by making sure they get the compensation and the rehabilitation they need.

Our sensitive abuse claim solicitors will help you claim for:

  • Physical Injury
  • Psychological Trauma
  • Care needs now and for the future
  • Loss of earnings, current and future
  • Medication
  • Other treatment costs such as CBT

 

Do not delay in contacting us. There are time limits on bringing your claim so you need to act very soon.

If you do not wish to contact us yourself then ask a support worker to do so on your behalf if that is easier for you. We are here to listen and advise.
