Easy Way To Find Right Solicitor For My Criminal Or Animal Attack Compensation Claim

Those who have been the victim of a violent crime have the right to apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for a financial award. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority does not necessarily award compensation to someone for their injuries but does award compensation to those injured during a violent act as "an expression of public sympathy for innocent victims of violent crime."

Because of the CICA will only consider making an award of compensation to those who have been the innocent victim of a violent crime, they will only consider making an award to you for your dog bite injuries if the animal attack was carried out during a crime of violence. It is extremely important you seek criminal injury advice from a reputable firm of solicitors if you would like to receive compensation from the CICA for the dog bite injuries you sustained during a violent crime.

In order for a dog bite victim to receive compensation for the CICA they will have to demonstrate that the person in charge of the dog deliberately set the dog upon them. The CICA will also consider awarding compensation to those who were attacked by a dog as a result of the owner failing to control the dog in public when it was known to be vicious towards people.

If the owner of a dog took the animal off its lead and shouted encouragement at the animal in order to entice the dog to attack you it is vital you seek criminal injury advice from a reputable firm of solicitors if this incident resulted in you being bitten. You could be owed thousands of pounds in compensation for the dog bite injuries you sustained during a violent crime.

Alternatively, compensation from the CICA is available to those who can demonstrate that the owner of the dog was aware that the animal had a poor temperament and that the owner was reckless when failing to use a suitable restraint for the animal. If an animal registered on the dangerous dogs list attacked you, you should seek criminal injury advice from specialist CICA solicitors immediately.

Many claims to the CICA for dog bite compensation fail because the claimant cannot demonstrate that the owner knew the dog was dangerous or they cannot prove that the owner was reckless. If you are struggling to gather sufficient evidence to prove your case against the owner of a dangerous vicious dog it is strongly recommended that you seek criminal injury advice from specialist solicitors that have experience in this particular field of criminal injury law.

A large amount of evidence is needed to pursue a claim for dog bite compensation from the CICA so it is important you have a legal expert assisting you throughout the process of making your claim. Highly trained CICA solicitors who have experience in dealing with dog bite compensation claims will be able to offer you the most cost-effective and risk-free method of pursuing compensation for your injuries from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

How much compensation is paid to you for your individual case, in relation to the injuries you sustained when you were attacked by a dog, is totally dependent on the damages you encountered. This is something that you need to discuss with a CICA solicitor as soon as possible.
