The Crime Victim Compensation Program can assist eligible victims of certain crimes with specific out-of-pocket expenses.
You may be able to request that the offender pay for some expenses. If you report a crime and the offender is found guilty, the court may order the offender to make restitution; that is, to pay for the cost of certain expenses you incur because of the crime, such as injuries, damages or stolen property.
If charges are issued, you will be contacted by Victim/Witness services in the county in which the crime occurred for restitution information. If you are uncertain about the status of your case, you can contact your local Victim/Witness Specialist.
