CICA - Victims of violence

If you're a victim of violence use FirstCall Usdaw on 0800 055 6333 to start your claim.

Usdaw Legal Plus helps members claim compensation from the CICA - Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority - which is a state funded scheme.

In order to qualify you must:

  • Personally report the incident to the Police within 48 hours and get a crime reference number. Usually, it's not enough if someone else reports it, such as a relative, friend or employer.
  • See a Doctor immediately for treatment of physical injuries as well as psychological ones such as stress or shock.

The Usdaw Legal Department will look after your claim.

For more information Don't be a victim of violent crime is available to download.
