Case Studies:

We are pleased this week to have obtained a large sum of over £120,000 for a client who was injured in a sectarian UVF shooting in the 1970s. Jack Dowling was instructed.

Our client and his colleagues were driving to work when their van was ambushed by the UVF who, indiscriminately, opened fire on the vehicle, killing the young driver. Our client was hit three times.

We were instructed in April 2023 to assist our client in making an application to the Victims' Payments Board. The NIO describes that the purpose of the Scheme is to provide those living with permanent disablement (either physical, psychological or both) caused by injury through no fault of their own in a Troubles-related incident with payments primarily in acknowledgement of the acute harm which they have suffered.

If you were injured in a 'Troubles-related incident' between 1 January 1966 and 12 April 2010 you may be entitled to such a payment.
