The Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund was established by the State of Texas to help victims receive compensation from their attackers. Compensation can cover:
This can be awarded to any victim, no matter if there’s a conviction. This fund will help cover at least part of your recovery costs.
Restitution is paid by the convicted assailant to the defendant. This can include medical costs, travel costs for the trial, and property damage costs.
Some crimes are traumatic enough that the victim cannot stay in the same home - or even the same city.
In cases such as these, victims may be able to receive compensation for relocation costs. These costs can include:
The courts and the Texas Department of Public Safety do their best to fully compensate victims. However, it’s all too often that their compensation doesn’t cover all costs you’ve incurred.
When the state cannot get you full compensation, an assault injury lawyer works to bridge that gap.
Filing a civil lawsuit allows the defendant potential compensation for emotional damages, mental trauma, and other damage that the state or courts cannot recognize.
