NEW JERSEY CRIME VICTIM COMPENSATION LAWYERS
Levinson Axelrod specializes in representing crime victims who have been seriously injured in New Jersey.
Many crime victims suffer great financial strain as a result of injury-related costs, including surgeries, visits to specialists, medication, various therapies, and hospitalization. As a victim of a serious crime, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, loss of work, medical costs, and other injury-related expenses. In certain cases, crime victims in the State of New Jersey may be able to recover monetary compensation from the defendant as well as tax monies that are allotted to compensate victims of serious crimes.
The Violent Crime Compensation Board is a service that was designed to lessen the financial hardship of crime victims through monetary relief. There are crime related factors which must be considered when the board determines who will receive benefits, such as:
- When the crime occurred. (The crime must have occurred after November 1, 1971 for the crime victim to be eligible for monetary compensation.)
- If the crime victim died as a result of the crime, and had remaining family members.
- Whether or not the crime victim suffered serious physical injury.
The victim of a crime may apply for crime victim compensation from the State of New Jersey, as well as surviving family members of victims who died as a result of the crime. No person who was involved in or an accomplice to the crime will be eligible to receive monetary compensation or victim benefits.
