Injured in a Violent or Sexual Crime in the UK? You could be entitled to compensation.

If you’ve suffered physical or psychological harm because of a violent or sexual crime, maybe you have lost a loved one due to a criminal act, you may be able to claim Criminal Injuries Compensation through the CICA (Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority) scheme.

At Pepperells Solicitors, we understand that no amount of money can undo what’s happened — but compensation can provide financial support and recognition for what you’ve endured.

Victoria Neale and her specialist team are committed to supporting clients who find themselves in this disheartening position.

As a leading law firm specialising in claims, we are here to guide clients through their CICA claim and additional options. We are dedicated to offering clarity on potential legal avenues, providing emotional and psychological support, and connecting survivors with resources that can help them on their path to recovery and justice.

Survivors deserve closure, justice, and to have their voices heard. Pepperells Solicitors stands by those who seek to make their stories known and pursue accountability, offering legal expertise and a compassionate, empowering approach to help them move forward.

How much compensation could you receive?

The CICA scheme offers awards from £1,000 up to £500,000, depending on the seriousness of the injuries and their long-term impact.

For example:

• Minor physical injuries – from £1,000

• Broken bones, scarring, or lasting disability – up to £11,000

• Severe sexual assault or repeated abuse – up to £44,000

• Fatal claims (including bereavement and dependency) – up to £500,000

Every case is unique, and Pepperells will ensure your claim is properly valued — including any loss of earnings, therapy costs, or special expenses.
