If I’m assaulted on the streets of Memphis, can I collect money?

Our employees can assist with preparing an application for victims’ compensation, which is a reimbursement type fund that the State of Tennessee runs out of Nashville.  For the most part, that fund only reimburses you for actual expenses that are directly related to the crime, like medical bills.
