Can victims get financial support?
Yes, victims of violent crime in the UK can apply for compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. This can help cover losses like earnings, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. The family in Leicestershire, particularly the father and son with critical injuries, would likely be eligible for this support.
