A victim of assault has the right to claim compensation from the perpetrator, either through the Criminal or Civil Courts. In addition, they may present their case to the Commission for the Compensation of Victims of Crime (CIVI). This commission provides compensation to victims of crimes that clearly constitute a felony. Depending on the severity of the harm suffered and the damage caused, the victim may receive substantial compensation.
Please note that the Commission can no longer intervene if three years have passed since the incident occurred. Therefore, to ensure the best possible approach to obtaining compensation following an assault — whether the incident is prosecuted under criminal or civil law — it is strongly recommended that the victim consults a criminal and personal injury lawyer who can defend their interests and secure fair compensation.
