Cope with the Costs of Violent Crime
Crime victim compensation programs in states across the country help victims of violence every day, paying for the costs of medical care, mental health counseling, and lost time at work, as well as funerals and other expenses that families face in the aftermath of homicide. Close to $500 million annually is paid to and on behalf of more than 200,000 people suffering criminal injury, including victims of spousal and child abuse, rape, assault, and drunk driving, as well as families of murder victims.

There is no national or federal victim compensation program, except for U.S. residents who are victims of terrorism in foreign countries. http://www.nacvcb.org/
