It is at this point that you need to seek the advice of an experienced criminal lawyer, as there can be huge differences in the outcome or penalty based on how you are charged.

Compensation for Victims of Crime
If you are injured or suffer any other kind of loss due to a crime being committed by someone else, then you may be able to claim compensation. This is also true for the families of an individual that is killed during the commission of a crime, in order to cover the expenses that they suffer after the loss of a loved one.
