Compensation for Personal Injury Victims

The Victim Compensation Fund periodically posts updates on the awards issued to claimants and beneficiaries. To maintain the privacy of individual claimants and beneficiaries, the Fund will not list names or any other identifying information that might easily lead to the identification of individuals who have received or been notified of awards.

Readers should understand that collateral source offsets vary greatly among claimants and can account for substantial differences in awards for what appear to be similarly situated claimants. Claimants with questions about their particular situations should contact the helpline at [removed].

Because Personal Injury claims are so different and their award determination is based on a variety of individual circumstances, the Special Master cannot publish any standard methodology for the evaluation of such claims. Read more at usdoj.gov

Tort lawyer is needed when civil wrongs are done
Torts fall into three general categories: intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); negligent torts (causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products). Intentional torts are those wrongs which the defendant knew or should have known would occur through their actions or inactions.
