How much compensation can I claim for getting knocked out in an assault?

[Ben]

I was assaulted while out with my friends, we were minding our own business when some one stole it on me and sucker punched me, they hit me for no reason and caught me by surprise, I think it was a racist attack, the assailant, the criminal who attacked me has not been caught but I have made a report and the police are investigating, I was knocked out and have suffered a concussion and have had to take time off work because of my head hurting, feeling dizzy and tired and because I have anxiety, How much am I entitled to for being knocked out in an unprovoked attack?

Thank you for sharing your situation, and I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. Based on your account, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses, even if the assailant has not been caught.
If the criminal is not identified, you can still apply for compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) in the UK, which handles claims for victims of violent crimes. The amount you may be entitled to depends on the severity of your injuries, their impact on your daily life, and any financial losses you’ve incurred.
You could claim for:

• Physical and psychological injuries (such as concussion and anxiety).
• Loss of earnings if you've had to take time off work.
• Expenses for medical treatment, travel, or other related costs.
