Criminal Injury Claims
Being the victim of violent crime can turn your world upside down in ways you never imagined. Struggling with physical injuries can be excruciating, as can the mental and emotional toll you must endure.
What is A
Criminal Injury Claim?
A criminal injury claim is an application for compensation for you because of injuries (emotional and physical) sustained by an offence or criminal act. In Western Australia, criminal injury payment provisions exist under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 2003. You are entitled to compensation for criminal injuries if you are,
- A victim of an offence who is injured and/or experiences financial loss because of the injury.
- A close relative of a person killed as a result of an offence, such as a spouse, partner, parent, grandparent, stepparent, child, step-child, or grandchild, and experience financial loss as a result of that offence.

- Lost wages

- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Doctor bills
- Ambulance services
- Hospital costs
- Psychological care
- Dental treatment
- Future medical or psychological treatment
- Reimbursement for travel to and from medical appointments

Why Do I Need Legal Representation?
Although you can file a claim for criminal injury compensation independently, the process is faster and less stressful if you instruct your legal representative to take care of the filing. Many complicated details are involved in such cases, and an experienced legal team can walk you through the most complex cases.
Most hearings will not require you to be present. However, some hearings for criminal injuries compensation in WA request the victim and offender be present. If this is the case, your legal team can intervene on your behalf. We can also accompany you to the hearing to offer professional services and support.
