Isle of Man Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme
In 1969 Tynwald approved a scheme under which the victims of crimes of violence in the Isle of Man could be paid compensation by the Manx Government. The scheme was based on a similar scheme which had been introduced in the United Kingdom in 1964. The Manx scheme was revised by Tynwald in 1983. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2005 is a further revision and applies to injuries sustained on or after 13th December 2005.
Compensation for an injury caused by a violent crime is an expression of the public's sense of responsibility for, and sympathy with, the innocent victim.
Incidents which occur prior to 13 December 2005 are eligible for consideration under the 1983 Scheme and Incidents which occur on or after 13 December 2005, will be eligible for consideration under the 2005 Scheme. If you believe that you may be entitled to claim compensation under one of these schemes, you should refer to the relevant information and application forms available by clicking on the links below.
