| In
an effort to alleviate hardships suffered by victims of crime, the
Alabama Legislature passed the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation
Commission Law on June 1, 1984.
Alabama's compensation law
covers a variety of expenses for which compensation is paid. The
Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission provides the only
substantial financial compensation to victims for expenses for personal
injuries including medical, funeral and counseling bills.
|
This
assistance lessens the financial burden on innocent victims of violent
crime and serves as a vehicle of hope for the rights of crime victims.
Our state law is unique. It
requires a victim or family member of a victim of violent crime to serve
on the three-member Commission which hears victim compensation cases.
This provision insures that claims are reviewed from the victim's
standpoint.
Now there is hope for victims of crime.
You can begin the healing process by calling the Alabama Crime
Victims Compensation Commission in Montgomery to find out if you
qualify.
