Crime Victim - You are entitled to payment from a defendant
who was convicted of a crime during which you were injured or
your property was stolen or damaged. You are also entitled to
payment if your business has suffered economic losses because
of the actions of a criminal defendant. It is very important
that you communicate the need for restitution to the court as
early as possible in the case.
