Victim of random street attack receives compensation for facial scarring
Our criminal injury specialist Jo Walmsley has been successful again this month. Our client was randomly assaulted in the street and his face very badly slashed. The CICA rejected his claim on the basis that he didn’t co-operate with the police which our client denied. We submitted a review which was initially rejected again for the same reasons. Following an appeal to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in May 2020 Ms Walmsley successfully obtained an award of £11,000 on behalf of our client on the basis that the client suffered from facial scarring.
