You are punched in a bar queue in Bordeaux, mugged for your watch outside the Gare du Nord, or shoved and kicked by a neighbour in your Dordogne village. You are British, you may have lived in France for years or arrived last week, and within minutes the same questions hit every victim: do I call the police or go to hospital first, will anyone take me seriously if my French is shaky, and who pays for the broken tooth, the torn jacket and the nights you cannot sleep? This guide answers those questions in the order you will actually face them. It explains the French criminal complaint, known as the plainte<\/em>, the medical certificate that decides how seriously your case is treated, what the public prosecutor does with your file, how you claim damages beside the prosecutor as partie civile<\/em>, and how you are still compensated when the attacker cannot pay or is never caught. Brexit changed nothing about these rights: a British victim has exactly the same standing before the French criminal courts as a French one. Read this once, act fast, and keep every paper, because in France the victim who documents early is the victim who gets paid.<\/p>\n

I. Assaulted in France as a British Visitor or Resident: How to File the Police Complaint That Protects You<\/h2>\n

A. Where and How to File Your Plainte, and the Medical Certificate That Decides Everything<\/h3>\n

Start with the distinction that confuses almost every British victim. In France you can walk into any commissariat de police<\/em> or gendarmerie<\/em> and do one of two things: lodge a main courante<\/em>, which is simply a written record of what happened, or file a plainte<\/em>, which is a formal criminal complaint that asks for the offender to be prosecuted. Only the plainte<\/em> can lead to a trial and to court-ordered damages. A main courante<\/em> leaves a trace, which is better than nothing if you are unsure, but it does not trigger a prosecution. If you were hit, threatened, robbed with violence or sexually assaulted, file a plainte<\/em>. You can convert an initial main courante<\/em> into a plainte<\/em> later, but every week lost weakens the evidence, so treat the plainte<\/em> as the default.<\/p>\n

No officer is allowed to turn you away. Article 15-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> provides: “Les officiers et agents de police judiciaire sont tenus de recevoir les plaintes d\u00e9pos\u00e9es par les victimes d’infractions \u00e0 la loi p\u00e9nale, y compris lorsque ces plaintes sont d\u00e9pos\u00e9es dans un service ou une unit\u00e9 de police judiciaire territorialement incomp\u00e9tents.” In plain English, the police must take your complaint even if you report it in the wrong town. If the assault happened in Marseille and you report it in Paris because you fled home, the Paris officers must record it and forward it. If an officer tries to send you away, suggests a main courante<\/em> would be simpler, or claims your French is too poor, insist politely on a plainte<\/em> and ask for the officer’s name and the record number. You can also start the process online through the official pr\u00e9-plainte en ligne<\/em> system and then attend the appointment to sign, or write directly to the procureur de la R\u00e9publique<\/em>, the public prosecutor, at the tribunal judiciaire<\/em> of the place where the assault happened. The letter route is useful if you have already left France: send it by recorded delivery, describe the facts date by date, list your injuries and losses, enclose copies of your medical certificates and photos, and keep the proof of posting. At the end of any filing, you must receive a r\u00e9c\u00e9piss\u00e9<\/em>, a receipt proving you complained. Without that receipt you cannot prove the date of your complaint later, and dates matter, as we shall see.<\/p>\n

Your French does not need to be good. Ask for an interpreter or bring a French-speaking friend, and give your statement in English if that is the only way to be precise. A confused statement taken in broken French helps nobody, while a precise statement in English, translated and signed, protects you. Bring your passport, your address in France or your hotel details, the contact of your travel insurer, and everything that proves what happened: photos of injuries and the scene, torn clothing kept unwashed in a bag, CCTV positions you noticed, names of witnesses, the registration of a car, screenshots of threats. If the assault happened at work, in a bar with cameras, or on public transport, say so immediately so the footage can be seized before it is erased. If your phone was stolen during the attack, give its IMEI number and file the theft within the same complaint, because the property loss will matter for compensation later.<\/p>\n

Then see a doctor the same day, even if you feel fine. This is the single most important practical advice in this guide. French criminal law classifies punches, kicks and blows, known as violences<\/em>, largely according to the medical consequences measured in days of incapacit\u00e9 totale de travail<\/em>, usually shortened to ITT. Despite the name, which dates from another era, ITT does not mean time off work in the British sense. It is the number of days, set by the examining doctor, during which the victim cannot perform the ordinary acts of daily life. The doctor’s certificat m\u00e9dical initial<\/em> therefore shapes the whole case. Go to the emergency department, your GP, or a m\u00e9decin l\u00e9giste<\/em> in a medico-legal unit, describe every symptom including shock, anxiety and sleeplessness, and make sure the certificate records each injury, the psychological state, and the ITT figure. Ask for a follow-up certificate if symptoms evolve, and keep every prescription, scan and sick note. An assault with no certificate is an assault the court struggles to measure, while an assault with a careful certificate is an assault the court can price.<\/p>\n

The thresholds are written into the Code p\u00e9nal<\/em>, the criminal code. Article 222-11 of the Code p\u00e9nal<\/a> states: “Les violences ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 une incapacit\u00e9 totale de travail pendant plus de huit jours sont punies de trois ans d’emprisonnement et de 45 000 euros d’amende.” Cross the eight-day line and the case is automatically a d\u00e9lit<\/em>, a mid-level criminal offence tried before the tribunal correctionnel<\/em>. Below that line, article 222-13 of the Code p\u00e9nal<\/a> provides: “Les violences ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 une incapacit\u00e9 de travail inf\u00e9rieure ou \u00e9gale \u00e0 huit jours ou n’ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 aucune incapacit\u00e9 de travail sont punies de trois ans d’emprisonnement et de 45 000 euros d’amende lorsqu’elles sont commises :” followed by a list of aggravating circumstances. In other words, lighter injuries are still a d\u00e9lit<\/em> carrying three years’ imprisonment when an aggravating factor is present, such as an attack on a minor, on a visibly vulnerable person, on a spouse or partner, with a weapon, in a group, while drunk or on drugs, or with a racist, sexist or homophobic motive. Without any aggravating factor, minor blows are a contravention<\/em>, a low-level offence, which still allows damages but before a different court. And when the basic offence of article 222-11 is committed with one of those aggravating factors, article 222-12 of the Code p\u00e9nal<\/a> raises the penalty: “L’infraction d\u00e9finie \u00e0 l’article 222-11 est punie de cinq ans d’emprisonnement et de 75 000 euros d’amende lorsqu’elle est commise :” followed by the same catalogue of aggravation. Tell the police and the doctor every fact that could amount to aggravation: the knife you saw, the two friends holding you down, the slurs shouted about your accent, the fact the attacker knew you live alone. Victims routinely forget these details and lose a higher classification they deserved.<\/p>\n

One deadline governs everything, and it is generous but absolute. Article 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> provides: “L’action publique des d\u00e9lits se prescrit par six ann\u00e9es r\u00e9volues \u00e0 compter du jour o\u00f9 l’infraction a \u00e9t\u00e9 commise.” For most assaults, which are d\u00e9lits<\/em>, you have six full years from the day of the attack to set the public prosecution in motion. Do not read that generosity as an invitation to wait. Memories fade, witnesses move, CCTV is wiped within days, and bruises heal. The six-year rule matters mainly for victims who were too shocked, too young, or too far from France to complain at once: their case is not dead. But the victim who complains within days, with a same-day medical certificate, is in a different league from the victim who returns two years later with nothing but a story.<\/p>\n

B. What the Prosecutor Does With Your Complaint, and How to Challenge a Classement Sans Suite<\/h3>\n

Once your plainte<\/em> is recorded, the file goes to the procureur de la R\u00e9publique<\/em>, who directs the criminal response. The prosecutor can order a police investigation, send the case straight to trial, propose a simplified procedure if the attacker admits the facts, or close the file with a classement sans suite<\/em>, a decision to take no further action. Many British victims experience that closure as a second assault: months of silence, then a short letter saying the case is dropped for lack of evidence, an unknown offender, or minor harm. A classement sans suite<\/em> is not a judgment. It does not say you lied, it does not say the attacker is innocent, and above all it does not end your rights. It is an administrative decision of opportunity, and French law gives you two precise weapons against it.<\/p>\n

The first weapon is fast, free and often underused: the appeal to the senior prosecutor. Article 40-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> states: “Toute personne ayant d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 des faits au procureur de la R\u00e9publique peut former un recours aupr\u00e8s du procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral contre la d\u00e9cision de classement sans suite prise \u00e0 la suite de cette d\u00e9nonciation.” The procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral<\/em> sits at the cour d’appel<\/em> above the local prosecutor and can order the prosecution to be started. Write to that office as soon as you receive the closure notice, enclosing the notice itself, your original complaint and receipt, any new evidence such as a consolidated medical certificate or a witness who has come forward, and a short letter explaining why the closure is wrong. There is no court fee and no lawyer is required, though a lawyer’s letter carries obvious weight. Ask explicitly for the file to be reopened and for further investigation, such as hearing a named witness or seizing footage you have located. Even when the senior prosecutor sides with the closure, the reasoned answer tells you exactly what is missing, which prepares the second weapon.<\/p>\n

The second weapon is heavier and usually decisive: the complaint with civil-party petition, the plainte avec constitution de partie civile<\/em> before the investigating judge, the juge d’instruction<\/em>. Article 85 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> opens this route in broad terms: “Toute personne qui se pr\u00e9tend l\u00e9s\u00e9e par un crime ou un d\u00e9lit peut en portant plainte se constituer partie civile devant le juge d’instruction comp\u00e9tent” Any person who claims to have been harmed by a crime or a d\u00e9lit<\/em> can therefore force the opening of a judicial investigation by complaining directly to the investigating judge. One admissibility condition applies where the prosecutor has already been seized: the petition is admissible only if the victim shows either that the prosecutor told them no prosecution would follow, or “soit qu’un d\u00e9lai de trois mois s’est \u00e9coul\u00e9 depuis qu’elle a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 plainte devant ce magistrat, contre r\u00e9c\u00e9piss\u00e9 ou par lettre recommand\u00e9e avec demande d’avis de r\u00e9ception, ou depuis qu’elle a adress\u00e9, selon les m\u00eames modalit\u00e9s, copie \u00e0 ce magistrat de sa plainte d\u00e9pos\u00e9e devant un service de police judiciaire.” In practice that means three months after your complaint to the prosecutor, proved by a receipt or recorded delivery, you can go over the prosecutor’s head. This is why the r\u00e9c\u00e9piss\u00e9<\/em> from your first complaint matters so much: without proof of its date, you cannot prove the three months have run. Send the petition to the investigating judge by recorded delivery, set out the facts, the legal classification you assert, the evidence and the damages you claim, and expect the judge to fix a consignation<\/em>, a deposit against potential costs, which the court returns to you if the case proceeds. Victims with modest means can ask for the deposit to be reduced and can apply for legal aid, the aide juridictionnelle<\/em>, so do not let the word deposit frighten you away from a right that exists precisely for cases the prosecutor preferred to shelve.<\/p>\n

Follow your file actively whatever route it takes. Ask the police station for the case number, the num\u00e9ro de proc\u00e8s-verbal<\/em>, and the prosecutor’s reference. If you move back to Britain, give the prosecutor and your lawyer an address for service and an email that you actually read, because summonses and closure notices are sent by post and short response periods run from notification. If you are called to an audience<\/em>, a hearing, attend or be represented: victims who disappear get forgotten, while victims who appear, with certificates, photos and receipts in order, shape the court’s view of the case. Keep a single folder, physical or digital, with the complaint, the receipt, every medical certificate, every bill, every payslip showing lost days, and every letter from the prosecutor. That folder is the raw material of your compensation, and the next part explains how it is converted into money.<\/p>\n

II. Compensation for a British Victim of Assault in France: Partie Civile, the Guarantee Fund and How to Challenge a Refusal<\/h2>\n

A. Becoming Partie Civile: Claiming Damages Beside the Prosecutor at the Criminal Trial<\/h3>\n

The most efficient way to be compensated is to stand inside the criminal trial itself as partie civile<\/em>, the civil party. French law joins the criminal and civil consequences of the same blows in one hearing: the court that convicts the attacker also orders the attacker to pay you. The foundation is article 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a>: “L’action civile en r\u00e9paration du dommage caus\u00e9 par un crime, un d\u00e9lit ou une contravention appartient \u00e0 tous ceux qui ont personnellement souffert du dommage directement caus\u00e9 par l’infraction.” Anyone who personally suffered damage directly caused by the offence owns the civil action for repair. That single sentence answers the question British families often ask after an attack on a relative: the compensation goes to those directly harmed, and each of them must show a personal, direct loss.<\/p>\n

The courts police that directness strictly, and a recent ruling shows how. On 26 March 2025 the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation, in appeal no. 24-82.499<\/a>, quashed the part of a Douai appeal judgment that had accepted the civil-party petition of a professional body and awarded it a symbolic euro plus costs after violence committed against a bailiff. The Court recalled: “Selon ce texte, sauf disposition l\u00e9gale particuli\u00e8re, l’action civile ne peut \u00eatre exerc\u00e9e, devant la juridiction r\u00e9pressive, que par la personne qui a subi un pr\u00e9judice r\u00e9sultant directement de l’infraction.” Moral harm suffered by a whole profession through one of its members was not direct enough. For you as the assaulted victim, the lesson is reassuring rather than worrying: your own bodily injury, your own fear, your own lost earnings and your own damaged belongings are the textbook example of direct harm, so your petition is exactly what the procedure is built for. But frame the claim around your personal losses, person by person: your hospital bills, your stopped shifts, your smashed glasses, your partner’s ruined coat that you were wearing. General statements about feeling unsafe in France do not price a claim; itemised personal losses do.<\/p>\n

Becoming partie civile<\/em> is deliberately simple. If the case reaches the tribunal correctionnel<\/em>, article 418 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> provides: “Toute personne qui, conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l’article 2, pr\u00e9tend avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u00e9s\u00e9e par un d\u00e9lit, peut, si elle ne l’a d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait, se constituer partie civile \u00e0 l’audience m\u00eame.” You can declare yourself civil party at the hearing itself, even if you never did so during the investigation, and no lawyer is formally required, though in practice a lawyer transforms the outcome. State the amount claimed under each head of loss, hand over the bundle of proofs, and answer the court’s questions about how the assault changed your daily life. The court then rules on the civil interests in the same judgment as the conviction, ordering the defendant to pay damages, and article 475-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> adds: “Le tribunal condamne l’auteur de l’infraction ou la personne condamn\u00e9e civilement en application de l’article 470-1 \u00e0 payer \u00e0 la partie civile la somme qu’il d\u00e9termine, au titre des frais non pay\u00e9s par l’Etat et expos\u00e9s par celle-ci.” Your unreimbursed costs, from the interpreter you paid to the train tickets to the hearing, can therefore be charged to the convicted attacker on top of the damages.<\/p>\n

Price your claim the way French courts think, head by head. Temporary total incapacity and its personal form, the days you could not live normally; suffering endured, the pretium doloris<\/em> graded on a scale the medical expert applies; temporary and then permanent functional deficit if movement, sight, hearing or balance is lastingly reduced; professional losses, meaning wages lost and shifts cancelled, proved by employer letters and payslips; housework and childcare you had to pay others to do; medical expenses left on you after the French health system and your travel insurer paid their share; damaged clothing, glasses, phone and watch; and the psychological aftermath documented by your GP or a psychiatrist, from anxiety to post-traumatic stress. British victims should keep sterling proofs too: the cancelled return flight, the extra hotel nights, the employer’s letter from Leeds or London converting lost days into pounds, because the French court converts and compensates real loss wherever the paperwork proves it. Ask the court for an expert medical assessment, the expertise m\u00e9dicale<\/em>, whenever injuries are disputed or evolving: a court-appointed doctor examines you, both sides comment, and the report becomes the backbone of the award. Never accept the first offer from the attacker’s insurer without advice, never sign a receipt presented as a mere formality at the police station, and never throw away a bill because it seems small. Small bills add up, and French courts compensate proved loss, not dramatic loss.<\/p>\n

B. When the Attacker Cannot Pay or Is Never Found: the CIVI, the FGTI and the SARVI<\/h3>\n

A conviction with damages is worthless if the attacker is insolvent, has fled, or was never identified. French law built a second floor of compensation precisely for that situation, and British victims use it constantly. The gateway is the Commission d’indemnisation des victimes d’infractions<\/em>, the CIVI, a specialised bench sitting at each tribunal judiciaire<\/em> that orders compensation from the national guarantee fund even when no offender can pay. Article 706-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> states the principle: “Toute personne, y compris tout agent public ou tout militaire, ayant subi un pr\u00e9judice r\u00e9sultant de faits volontaires ou non qui pr\u00e9sentent le caract\u00e8re mat\u00e9riel d’une infraction peut obtenir la r\u00e9paration int\u00e9grale des dommages qui r\u00e9sultent des atteintes \u00e0 la personne, lorsque sont r\u00e9unies les conditions suivantes :” The conditions that follow set the well-known thresholds: full repair for the most serious bodily harm, and, for lighter bodily harm, a personal total incapacity of at least one month, or more precisely, in the words the courts repeat. For lighter bodily harm the fund route requires a personal total incapacity of at least one month. Note the word personal: this is your own incapacity as a human being, not your employer’s sick-leave count, and the CIVI assesses it on medical evidence, not on the label the criminal court gave the same facts.<\/p>\n

That last point was settled in your favour by the Court of Cassation. On 5 March 2020 the Second Civil Chamber, in appeal no. 19-12.720<\/a>, quashed a Nancy appeal judgment that had thrown out a victim’s fund claim by hiding behind the criminal court’s findings. The Court recalled that “l’autorit\u00e9 de la chose jug\u00e9e au p\u00e9nal sur le civil ne s’\u00e9tend qu’\u00e0 ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9cessairement d\u00e9cid\u00e9 par le juge r\u00e9pressif quant \u00e0 l’existence du fait qui forme la base commune de l’action civile et de l’action p\u00e9nale, \u00e0 sa qualification et \u00e0 l’innocence ou la culpabilit\u00e9 de celui \u00e0 qui le fait est imput\u00e9.” The authority of the criminal judgment over the civil claim covers only what the criminal judge necessarily decided. The criminal court had convicted for armed violence with an ITT below the fund’s threshold, but that measurement, taken for sentencing the offender, did not stop the CIVI from judging for itself whether the victim’s personal incapacity reached a month. The court of appeal should therefore have investigated the real personal incapacity instead of closing the door. For a British victim this is gold: even if the criminal case recorded a modest ITT, or even if the criminal case collapsed entirely, the CIVI looks at your body and your life with fresh eyes, provided your medical file proves the lasting impact.<\/p>\n

The money itself comes from the Fonds de garantie des victimes des actes de terrorisme et d’autres infractions<\/em>, the FGTI. Article L. 422-1 of the Insurance Code<\/a> explains: “la r\u00e9paration int\u00e9grale des dommages r\u00e9sultant d’une atteinte \u00e0 la personne est assur\u00e9e par l’interm\u00e9diaire du fonds de garantie des victimes des actes de terrorisme et d’autres infractions.” Full repair of personal injury is channelled through this fund, financed by a levy on property insurance policies. In practice you apply to the CIVI with the complaint, the medical certificates, the bills and the proof that the offender cannot pay, the fund investigates and usually makes an offer, and the CIVI awards the balance after an expert assessment if you disagree. Act within the strict time limits, which run in months rather than years from the offence or from the last criminal decision, so file the CIVI application in parallel with the criminal track instead of waiting for it to end. And claim every head of loss at once, because the governing idea, restated by the Court of Cassation on 2 April 2026 in appeal no. 24-18.909<\/a>, is “le principe de la r\u00e9paration int\u00e9grale sans perte ni profit pour la victime”, full repair with neither loss nor profit for the victim. In that ruling the Court cut down an award of expert-assistant fees, holding that the lower court had relied “par des motifs insuffisants \u00e0 \u00e9tablir que ces frais \u00e9taient n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 l’\u00e9valuation des pr\u00e9judices de la victime et \u00e9taient, partant, la cons\u00e9quence du fait dommageable”. Costs are recoverable when they are shown to be necessary consequences of the harmful event, so attach the invoice, explain why each expense was needed, and link it to the assault date by date.<\/p>\n

Two complements complete the picture. If the attack also cost you property, a stolen phone, a smashed camera, a car keyed by the same gang, article 706-14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure<\/a> opens the SARVI route, the victim-recovery service: “Toute personne qui, victime d’un vol, d’une escroquerie, d’un abus de confiance, d’une extorsion de fonds ou d’une destruction, d’une d\u00e9gradation ou d’une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration d’un bien lui appartenant, d’un chantage, d’un abus de faiblesse ou d’une atteinte aux syst\u00e8mes de traitement automatis\u00e9 de donn\u00e9es, ne peut obtenir \u00e0 un titre quelconque une r\u00e9paration ou une indemnisation effective et suffisante de son pr\u00e9judice, et se trouve de ce fait dans une situation mat\u00e9rielle ou psychologique grave, peut obtenir une indemnit\u00e9 dans les conditions pr\u00e9vues par les articles 706-3 (3\u00b0 et dernier alin\u00e9a) \u00e0 706-12”. List the stolen and broken items inside the same complaint from day one, keep purchase invoices and repair quotes, and claim them through this channel when the offender cannot pay. And if the offender was ordered to pay but does not, the SARVI, the Service d’aide au recouvrement des victimes d’infractions<\/em>, enforces the criminal court’s award for you and advances the money, which matters enormously when the attacker is a young offender with nothing to seize. Between the partie civile<\/em> award, the CIVI and the SARVI, a British victim who documents everything is very rarely left with nothing.<\/p>\n

Practical points specific to Britons close the loop. If you needed hospital care, the emergency department treats first and bills later; your GHIC or travel insurance covers the medical side while this guide’s procedures cover the legal side, and our companion pieces explain how to challenge a French hospital bill or a healthcare refusal<\/a> and how to complain and claim after a burglary in your French second home<\/a>. If the assault followed a road incident, read our guide to Badinter compensation after a car accident in France<\/a>, where a different no-fault regime applies. The British consulate cannot investigate or pay compensation, but its guidance for victims of crime abroad<\/a> explains the consular help available, and the French official portal explains how to file a complaint in France<\/a>. Keep copies of everything in English and French, tell every authority your British address for service if you go home, and never assume that leaving France ends the case: the CIVI and the criminal court can compensate and convict in your absence if your file speaks for you.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

An assault in France sets three clocks running at once: the medical clock, where a same-day certificate fixes the seriousness of your case; the criminal clock, where a prompt plainte<\/em> with its receipt opens the road to trial and to the two challenges against a dropped case; and the compensation clock, where the partie civile<\/em> claim, the CIVI application and the SARVI recovery turn injuries and bills into money even when the attacker is broke or unknown. Miss the first hours and every clock runs against you; use them well and French law is strikingly generous to victims, British or French alike. File the complaint, see the doctor, keep the folder, challenge every refusal in writing, and take advice before any deadline passes. Your accent changes nothing about your rights, but your speed changes everything about your result.<\/p>\n
