You may be able to recover for some of your losses. You can ask the court to order someone to pay "restitution (opens in new window)". There is also a state crime victim restitution fund.

For more information, read Information on Crime Victim's Compensation.

Also contact the Crime Victim/Witness Assistance Center in your county.

There are court forms and instructions that can help if you decide to file for an Order for Restitution:

• Order for Restitution and Abstract of Judgment (Form CR-110/JV-790) and
• Instructions: Order for Restitution and Abstract of Judgment (Form CR-112/JV-792).
