Can I claim for the death of a murdered relative?

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most devastating experiences. When that loss is the result of a violent crime, the pain and trauma can be even more overwhelming.

Under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority’s Scheme, compensation can be claimed for the death of a murdered relative through a fatal injury claim. The government-funded scheme aims to provide support to innocent victims of violent crimes or their families, offering financial assistance during such challenging times. While no amount of money can fully compensate for the loss of a loved one, the CICA scheme acknowledges the impact of such tragedies and offers a form of support to bereaved families.

A qualifying relative of a person who has died as a direct result an #injury sustained due to a violent crime may be eligible for:

-A bereavement payment.

-A child’s payment.

-A dependency payment a funeral payment.

Understanding the process of making a fatal injury claim through the #CICA is ensuring the families of victims receive the support and compensation they deserve. For further information and advice regarding Criminal Injuries Compensation get in touch with our specialist team on 0800 138 6061.

I instructed GLP because I was not happy with service provided by the law firm I was using to pursue a housing disrepair claim. GLP kept me informed every step of the way and very quickly ensured the landlord repaired my home and paid a substantial sum of compensation. Thank you so much to GLP. M Allen (London).

“Thanks to GLP for ensuring a swift and very successful outcome of our claim against a landlord. We are quite elderly and not particularly IT proficient but the level of service and telephone support provided by GLP was really fantastic. M and P McKewan (London).”

“There was an excellent all round performance from GLP, thank you again.” Mr Morrison (Cheadle)

“I very much appreciate your hard work and time you have taken helping me through this process” Mr Lamb (Stockton)

Mr M thought he had missed the chance to bring a claim against his employer for a tripping accident at work over two years ago, however GLP moved swiftly and efficiently resulting in an award of £7,000 for an exacerbation of a back injury.

We brought a claim for personal injury following a road traffic ( hit in rear) accident however, GLP did not accept that this was simply a whiplash injury and after obtaining specialist medical evidence from an orthopaedic surgeon we achieved an award of £10,000 for the injured party.

Mrs B brought a claim for an injured ankle following a tripping accident on her local street. Within just 8 months from receiving her instructions, she received her settlement direct to her bank account.
