How much criminal injury compensation can you claim for a person killed as a result of a crime of violence?

The amount of UK criminal injury compensation you can claim includes:

1. A sum for the loss of a loved one

This sum depends upon how many individuals are eligible to make a claim for criminal injury compensation.

If you are the only individual who is eligible to make a claim - in 2007 you would receive a fixed sum of £11,000.

If two or more individuals are eligible to make a claim - in 2007 you would each receive £5,500 each.

2. Funeral expenses of the deceased

If your paid for the funeral expenses of the deceased you are entitled to claim this expense, so long as reasonable, whoever you are - even if you are not eligible for an award for the loss of a loved one.

3. Dependency expenses

If you relied on the deceased for income or for care you are said to have been "dependent" on the deceased and so long as you are eligible for criminal injury compensation you will be entitled to a sum to compensate you for this loss.

4. Loss of parental services

If you are a child of the deceased under the age of 18 years you are entitled to claim an additional sum to compensate you for the loss of the tasks that a parent would normally carry out on your behalf. In 2007 this rate would be £2000 for each year until you reach the age of 18 years.

Even if the deceased made a criminal injury compensation claim for his injuries before he died - you are still able to claim compensation if his injuries later led to his death.
