Help for victims of violence
Special protection is provided by the Deutsche Gesetztliche Unfallversicherung (German social accident insurance) for people who have suffered harm as first responders. Victims of violent acts may be entitled to compensation under the Crime Victims Compensation Act - OEG. In Berlin, this is the responsibility of the Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales (Berlin State Office for Health and Social Affairs - LAGeSo).
