Crime Victim Injuries in One-on-One Scenarios

• Some crimes can be pursued through both criminal court proceedings and civil lawsuits
• In civil suits, crime victims can pursue monetary damages for their injuries
• However, most of the time, the criminal doesn’t have any money to pay the victim for the damages caused, so most attorneys will advise that it is not worth it to pursue such a civil case
• Indiana has a Violent Crime Victims Compensation Fund so that victims can get some of their medical bills paid
• Insurers usually don’t insure against intentional wrongdoings
