Mugging
Claim Your Financial Compensation Package
If you have been a victim of a mugging then you should seek compensation. It’s your legal right. At The Personal Injury Bureau we can help you claim the financial compensation you deserve.
Move Forward With Your Life
Being mugged, even if the injuries are minor, can be very distressing, leaving many people anxious about going about their day to day business.
In worst case scenarios the violence experienced can lead to severe physical injury and the resulting mental trauma that goes with it. At The Personal Injury Bureau we want you to get the correct compensation that you deserve, following such a distressing episode in your life.
We know in some cases no amount of money can make up for the damage done when someone is a victim of a violent mugging but a personal injury claim can help.
It can help you in many ways:
- Pay for financial damages such as medial bills and counselling.
- It will be an official recognition that you have suffered and may help you move forward with your life
- Allow you to spend money on something positive, including holidays, gifts for your children, and improvements to your home.
The financial compensation package, in many cases, can be substantial, helping you concentrate on the future.

Many people do not realise they can claim personal injury compensation for being injured during a mugging. In some cases the award pay outs for mugging can be high.
Requirements For Eligibility for Mugging Compensation Application
The personal injury compensation awards for mugging are obtained from the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority (CICA), the government body set up for this purpose.
Requirements for eligibility for application Include:
- The mugging crime was a crime of violence and you have been injured seriously enough to qualify for at least a minimum award (£1,000).
- The crime happened in England, Scotland or Wales.
- You make your application within two years of the incident that caused your injury.
Other Factors
A Personal injury award for mugging might be reduced by CICA or affected in some way:
- Due to your behaviour before, during or after the incident in which you were injured.
- If you have a criminal record.
- Your failure to co-operate with the police or with the CICA.
- Any delay informing the police or other relevant organisation or person following the attack.
To make a claim there does not have to be an arrest or conviction just evidence showing you have been a victim of a mugging.
