What does Schadefonds
Geweldsmisdrijven do
for you?
With the compensation, we acknowledge on behalf of the government that you are a victim. We hope that this compensation provides you with a sense of support.
What does the compensation mean?
The compensation is a sum of money you get from us for what happened. It is not compensation for damages or for pain and suffering. You will receive a lump sum of money once. And you may spend this amount as you wish.
The amount of the compensation depends on your injury. In general, the more serious your injury, the higher the monetary amount. We work with 6 injury categories. For example, category 1 comes with a compensation of €1,000, category 6 with a compensation of €35,000. The latter is rare.
With the compensation, we acknowledge that you are a victim and give something back to you. Even without the perpetrator having been convicted or having gone to trial. This is how we want to help you regain confidence in society.
