All 50 states have government-funded entities that provide services to Victims of Crime. Dennis A. Brebner and Associates will assist these victims through the process at no charge pursuant to our hospital client contracts.

Each state authorized the creation of programs that pay innocent victims compensation for certain losses associated with a criminal act. Compensation is generally provided for lost earnings, medical expenses, mental health counseling, and funeral expenses.

Victims must satisfy the following requirements:

• They must report the crime to law enforcement within a specific period of time


• The crime must have occurred within the state that the claim is made


• A claim must be filed with the compensation program within a specific amount of time


• The victim must cooperate fully with the investigation and prosecution of the crime


• The victim cannot have been committing a crime or have been involved in any misconduct connected to the incident
