FAQ - Can I be compensated for losses I have suffered as a victim?

Your insurance company may provide coverage for your personal injury or property loss due to a crime.  If your report of a crime results in the offender being placed on probation or parole, the court may order the offender to make restitution to pay for the cost of your injuries, damages, or loss.  However, restitution cannot be guaranteed and may not be possible under some circumstances.  The Crime Victims Reparations Board may cover certain out-of-pocket losses as a result of personal injury or death.  You may also consider pursuing a civil suit to recover damages.
