Violent crimes do not only cause physical injuries and death, they also can cause serious financial harms.  Connecticut’s Office of Victim Services (OVS) administers a crime victim compensation fund for persons who have been financially impacted by violent crime.  The program allows any crime victim to submit an application for benefits.

You may file a claim for benefits if you fall into the following categories :

• A victim of an eligible crime who received physical injury or death or was physically injured while assisting police during a crime
• A relative or designated decision maker of a homicide victim
• A relative of a sexual assault, domestic violence, or child abuse victim
• A child who witnesses domestic violence and is not related to the victim
• A person who is blind or has a disability and owned or kept a guide or assistance dog that was injured during a crime

You may file the claim on your own or seek representation from an experienced Connecticut Crime Victim Lawyer.  I have assisted many crime victims in connection with a claim for these benefits.  I have also handled appeals before the Crime Victim Compensation Commissioner.
