Criminal Injury Claims in Ireland
In Ireland, criminal injury claims offer a recourse for individuals who have suffered injuries due to criminal acts such as assaults, robberies, or other violent crimes. These incidents can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial strain on victims and their families. Understanding the avenues available for seeking compensation is crucial in alleviating some of these burdens.
Legal Framework for Criminal Injury Claims in Ireland
Ireland provides specific mechanisms through which victims of crime can seek compensation. These include:
Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal (CICT): This tribunal offers a route for victims of violent crimes to claim compensation for their injuries. It is designed to compensate victims who have suffered physical or psychological harm as a direct result of a criminal act.
Civil Claims against the Perpetrator: Victims have the right to pursue civil litigation against the individuals who caused their injuries. This process involves filing a lawsuit directly against the offender to recover damages for pain and suffering, loss of earnings, and medical expenses.
Garda Compensation Scheme: This scheme is specific to members of An Garda Síochána who are injured in the line of duty. It recognises the unique risks faced by law enforcement officers and provides a means for compensation for injuries sustained through malicious acts.

Testimonials From Our Clients
McMahon Goldrick Solicitors, Dublin are endorsed by Spinal Injuries Ireland to act on behalf of its members and also represents the Organisation itself.
I worked with Ralph for 22 years and it was a pleasure to do so. He has acted for Spinal Injuries Ireland and its members since 1993. He has acted as an advisor to the Board, been a member of the Fundraising Committee and also the Transitional Housing Programme Committee. Integrity and professionalism are assured and it is these qualities combined with his experience and indeed that of his Partner Jessica Goldrick that gave me total comfort when referring members to him. They go about their work with a total empathy for the member and of course this is also of crucial importance. I cannot recommend Ralph and Jessica highly enough.
Ralph, the first thing on my ‘to do’ list was to email you to say a big thank you to you and to Jessica for all the support you gave to me over the past year.
I received a stellar service from your firm and most particularly Jessica who was a delight to deal with. While the outcome was beyond my expectations, so too was the service I received from your firm. I will be in touch with Jessica separately to thank her

Do I Have Grounds for a Criminal Injury Claim?
To initiate a criminal injury claim, evidence must demonstrate:
- You suffered an injury as a direct result of a crime (either by experiencing it firsthand or witnessing it),
- Your status as an innocent victim, and
- The crime directly caused a serious injury.
In cases where proving the crime directly caused the injury is challenging, our expertise lies in evaluating the viability of your claim. Should grounds for a claim exist, we’re dedicated to formulating a compelling argument that establishes the causal link between the criminal act and your injuries.
If you’re uncertain about the eligibility of your criminal injury for a claim, our solicitors are on hand to listen to your story and outline your legal avenues.
Who Pays Compensation for Criminal Injuries?
In Ireland, victims of criminal injuries have three potential paths to compensation:
- Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal: Available to crime victims or their dependents (in cases of fatality), this tribunal awards compensation for direct injuries from violent crimes or injuries sustained while preventing a crime or saving a life.
- Civil Proceedings Against the Offender: This involves a lawsuit against the perpetrator for damages due to the victim’s injuries from the incident.
- Garda Compensation Scheme: Specifically for An Garda Síochána members (or their dependents, in cases of fatality) injured maliciously in the line of duty, off duty, or because of their association with the Garda.
Our team of Criminal Injury Solicitors will advise on the most appropriate route for your circumstances upon initial consultation.
