Objective: Learn how financial remedies can assist victims.

The main financial remedy for victims is restitution. This is the recovery of out-of-pocket expenses the victim suffered. Other remedies include civil litigation, insurance coverage, and victim compensation. These are all areas that victims may recover a portion of their losses depending on the circumstances of the case.

Discuss with your colleagues (not necessary) about outlining the financial remedies available for victims.

• Ensure the following points are addressed:
  • Identify key issues.
  • Restitution and how it works.
  • Civil litigation
  • Insurance coverage
  • Victim compensation.
