Compensation for Personal Injury Victims
The Victim Compensation Fund periodically posts updates on the awards issued to claimants and beneficiaries.

Readers should understand that collateral source offsets vary greatly among claimants and can account for substantial differences in awards for what appear to be similarly situated claimants. Claimants with questions about their particular situations should contact the helpline at [removed].
