How can I fund a solicitor’s legal costs of making a criminal injury compensation appeal in the cheapest manner?
Funding legal costs of a criminal injury compensation appeal: I want to appeal against my CICA claim decision and am shopping around to find a solicitor to help me.
A: If it is often quite sensible you use a solicitor to appeal a decision from the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA).
The legal cost of using a solicitor will normally be more than offset by the increase in the criminal compensation you are likely to receive.
I would, however, be very careful about using the cheapest solicitor as this may not necessarily be the best.
The procedure I recommend you follow to choose the solicitor is as follows:
1. Choose a solicitor who has experience of appealing decisions from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority
Criminal Injury Compensation Appeal
A CICA appeal is heard by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals Panel (CICAP) – the appeal will normally take place by way of a hearing in front of CICAP tribunal.
As the appeal is a rehearing of your criminal injuries claim; the CICAP can either: uphold the decision of the CICA, reduce or increase the award originally made by the CICA or there is even a risk of zero compensation.
It is therefore very important you have the correct UK solicitor acting for you as the object of your appeal is to receive more criminal injury compensation.
I have written a detailed article on my site explaining how to choose the best solicitor for your CICA appeal.
