Crime Victims Compensation

Any person who is a survivor of a criminal act who has suffered bodily or psychological injury or death, or who has lost earnings or support, may apply to the Crime Victims Compensation Board. The Compensation Board requires that the crime be reported to the police within 48 hours of the incident unless delay is justified.

Benefits include the following:

• Medical expenses or other services (including mental health counseling) necessary as a result of the injury upon which the claim is filed
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of earnings
• Replacement of glasses or corrective lenses, provided they were broken or damaged during the crime
