Post-traumatic stress syndrome is a common malady for rape victims, as is a deep distrust of fellow human beings. Any type of violent assault may also result in extensive medical bills. The victim often faces injuries such as the following:
- Trauma to the head
- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Sprains, bruises and cuts
- Psychological trauma
Sources of compensation for an assault or rape victim may include the following:
- The perpetrator
- Insurance policies covering the perpetrator (except for policies that explicitly rule out coverage of criminal acts)
- Premises owners
- Security companies
