Compensation as a victim or surviving dependant

Victims can join the proceedings as injured parties and file a claim for compensation. In the tragic event a victim dies as a result of the crime, the surviving dependants can also join the criminal proceedings as an injured parties.

Our firm has extensive experience in the area of providing legal assistance to victims. We do so in a wide range of criminal law cases, such as domestic abuse, human trafficking as well as serious assault- and sex crimes.
Victims can also apply for compensation through the civil courts. This can be done in conjunction with or following the end of a criminal prosecution.
