Criminal injuries compensation is a government funded scheme under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 2003 (WA) that provides financial payments to people who have suffered personal injury, including psychological injury, as a result of a criminal offence committed in Western Australia. The scheme covers bodily harm, mental and nervous shock, and pregnancy resulting from an offence.
The maximum compensation payout for a criminal injury claim in WA is capped at $75,000 per offence. The actual amount you receive depends on the severity of your injuries, financial losses, and the evidence supporting your application. Compensation may cover pain and suffering, loss of income, medical expenses, travel costs, and other incidental expenses.
While you are not legally required to engage a lawyer, having experienced legal representation significantly improves your chances of a successful outcome. Crime victim compensation claims can be complex, and a qualified criminal injury compensation attorney in Perth can help you gather evidence, meet deadlines, and present your case effectively.
You must lodge your application within three years from the date of the offence. If multiple offences occurred, the time limit runs from the date of the last offence. If you are outside this period, you may apply for an extension by providing written reasons for the delay. We recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Yes. You may still be eligible for compensation even if no one has been identified, charged, or convicted of the offence. The key requirement is that the incident was reported to police and that you suffered an injury as a result of a criminal act.
