Alabama Crime Victims' Compensation Commission

1-800-541-9388 https://acvcc.alabama.gov/ In an effort to alleviate hardships suffered by victims of crime, the Alabama Legislature passed the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission Law on June 1, 1984.

Alabama’s compensation law covers a variety of expenses for which compensation is paid. The Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission provides the only substantial financial compensation to victims for expenses for personal injuries including medical, funeral and counseling bills.

This assistance lessens the financial burden on innocent victims of violent crime and serves as a vehicle of hope for the rights of crime victims.

Our state law is unique. It requires a victim or family member of a victim of violent crime to serve on the three-member Commission which hears victim compensation cases. This provision insures that claims are reviewed from the victim’s standpoint.

Now there is hope for victims of crime. You can begin the healing process by calling the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission.

IN AN EMERGENCY ALWAYS DIAL “911”
