A victim's right to compensation

A victim's right to compensation means that if you've been harmed by someone else’s actions, you may be entitled to financial support to cover costs like medical bills, therapy, or lost wages. This right helps ensure that victims aren’t burdened completely by the aftermath of their injury or crime. Depending on the case, compensation can come from legal action against the offender, government programs, or insurance. It’s an important part of the justice process, recognizing the harm caused and assisting victims in recovery and rebuilding their lives.
