You may be in the unfortunate situation of having been a victim of crime. It may have been a victim of violence or domestic violence. We will advise you about what compensation you can seek fthrough the South Australian victims of crime legislation or through civil action. We can help you to identify what your options are.
It is important to keep records of any medical or psychological treatment you have had and any damage to your property.
You will need to seek advice early to avoid being out of time with a claim. If you have suffered damage to property this may need to be addressed when the offender is sentenced.
If you seek compensation through the South Australian Victims of Crime Scheme it is not essential that someone has been convicted of the crime. You may still be able to make a successful claim even if the offender was not caught or was caught but not prosecuted.
As an alternative you can make a civil claim for damages. Generally this is only done where the perpetrator is someone of financial means.
