Domestic Violence Compensation

Domestic Violence Compensation | No Win No Fee Claims

Domestic violence is one of the most painful and distressing experiences anyone can face. It can cause not only physical injuries but also long-lasting emotional and psychological harm. If you have been a victim of domestic abuse, you may be entitled to claim domestic violence compensation.

At Claims 24 Hours, we provide caring, confidential, and professional support to help victims of domestic violence claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). Our experienced team ensures that you understand your rights and receive the compensation you deserve — all on a no win no fee basis.

What Is Domestic Violence Compensation?

Domestic violence compensation is financial support provided to victims who have suffered harm due to abuse at home. This is usually claimed through CICA, which is a government scheme designed to help victims of violent crime in England, Scotland, and Wales.

The compensation can cover both physical injuries and psychological trauma, as well as financial losses caused by the abuse.

Who Can Make a Domestic Violence Compensation Claim?

You may be able to claim compensation if:

You were physically abused by a partner, family member, or ex-partner
You suffered long-term psychological harm such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD
You reported the incident(s) to the police and cooperated with their investigation
You were under 18 when the abuse occurred (in some cases, time limits are extended)

Even if the abuser was not charged or convicted, you may still be able to make a claim through CICA.

Types of Injuries Covered in Domestic Violence Compensation

Domestic violence can cause many types of injuries, both physical and emotional. Examples include:

Bruises, cuts, and scarring
Broken bones or fractures
Head injuries and concussions
Internal injuries
Long-term emotional trauma (such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression)
Ongoing health issues from repeated abuse

CICA recognises both the physical and psychological impact of domestic violence when awarding compensation.

A domestic violence compensation claim may cover:

Pain and suffering – for both physical and emotional trauma
Medical expenses – including treatment, therapy, and counselling

Domestic Violence Compensation FAQs

What if the abuse happened years ago?
You may still be able to claim, especially if you were under 18 at the time.

Do I have to face my abuser to make a claim?
