Violence is easily found in most editions of the local paper. But the criminal justice system rarely does much to take care of the wage losses, medical bills, and other harms and losses that crime often inflicts on crime victims. Most crime victims who have such losses should consult an attorney that knows something about insurance law and claims handling. If the crime has as its basis, an act of "recklessness" or "criminal negligence" the criminal may be covered for the losses he/she inflicted by a policy of homeowner's insurance. Youthful offenders often "reside" with parents or other relatives who own or are buying a home. Almost always, these homes are covered by homeowners insurance and residents of the home are "additional insureds" under the policy.
