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;

bullet

100 % compensation of the Tariff amount for the most serious injury; plus

bullet

30 % of the Tariff amount for the second most serious injury; plus

bullet15 % of the Tariff amount for the third most serious.

The following figures provide you with a general summary of what you might expect to be paid under the scheme for certain specific injuries - if the claim is successful:

bulletBroken forearm £3000-£5000
bulletBroken lower leg £3500-£6500
bulletFacial scarring £2500-£4400
bulletJaw / dental injuries £1250-£4000
