CRIME VICTIM COMPENSATION

There are many client services provided in Colorado that are ongoing and available to clients. These services are meant to help through the healing and recovery process. Some of these services are short-term while others are available to clients on a long-term basis depending on need. Among our services is a Victim Compensation program you could consider applying for. You may be eligible to receive crime victim compensation if:

 

  • You or your family are the victim of a violent crime in Colorado, OR
  • You or your family are residents of Colorado who have been victimized in a state or country that does not have a victim compensation program, or will not cover your loss.

Additionally, in order to be eligible for victim compensation in Colorado, you must meet these criteria from the Crime Victim Compensation Statute:

  • The victim sustains mental or bodily injury, dies, or suffers property damage to locks, windows or doors to residential property as a result of the crime.
  • The victim cooperates with law enforcement officials.
  • The police were notified within 72 hours after the crime occurred.
  • The injury or death of the victim was not the result of the victim's own wrongdoing or substantial provocation.
  • The victimization occurred on or after July 1, 1982.
  • The application for compensation must be submitted within one year from the date of the crime, or six months for property damage claims.

The local victim compensation board may waive some of these requirements for good cause or in the interest of justice. This includes application deadlines.
