victims of assault can seek compensation for injuries, trauma, or lost income. Courts may order the offender to pay, or victims can apply through state compensation schemes. For example, a person attacked at a bar might get medical costs covered. Assault Offences Lawyers in Melbourne can guide victims through the legal and compensation process.
