CICA awards...
If you make a claim against the CICA you may wish to know what you
can expect as an award if the case is successful.
We cannot guarantee any level of award under the scheme because
every claim is different and needs to be assess on its own merits.
The size of any
award paid in recognition of victims’ personal injuries is fixed
according to a scale, or tariff, set by Parliament.
The tariff
applied since April 2001 defines the maximum levels of compensation
which may be awarded.
There
are 25 levels of compensation for injuries ranging from £1,000 to
£250,000. If you qualify also for lost earnings and/or special
expenses, the CICA will pay additional compensation up to £250,000.
The maximum combined amount payable under the scheme is £500,000.
If you
have suffered more than one injury, the CICA will only
compensate you for the three most serious. eg;
