What do you do if you’re the victim of a crime?
Sadly, many victims of violence and crime suffer physically and/or psychologically. We strongly recommend that you seek help of a criminal injury Lawyer in Perth as soon as possible. We understand that this is a very difficult and often traumatic time in your life but please consider:
- Reporting the incident to the police as soon as possible
- Seeing a doctor as soon as possible because delay in seeking medical assistance could jeopardise your claim
- Taking photographs of your injuries as soon as possible
- Taking photographs of the scene of the crime. If, for example, you’re the victim of a home invasion or armed robbery, then you may still have a claim even if the person who assaulted you is not found/charged by Police.
- Writing down the names and contact details of any witnesses
Have you been physically or sexually assaulted? Have you been the victim of a crime that might not have left physical wounds, but has resulted in psychological damage? Then you may be entitled to financial compensation.
