If you are a victim of violent crime in Ontario, you may be eligible for financial compensation. A criminal injury tort claim can be launched by a personal injury lawyer directly on behalf of the injuring party with the goal of attaining financial compensation for the injuries suffered by the victim. The standard in criminal injury tort claims requires demonstrating that the injuring party contributed directly to the harms suffered by the injured party. Criminal injury tort claims are often complex. Reybroek Law provides experienced personal injury lawyers as a trusted advocate to represent you through the process.
