Résumé Omnilex

The applicant sought compensation under the Victim Assistance Act after an alleged traffic accident. The indemnification authority refused the request because the accident could not be established, neither on the applicant's submissions nor through the authority's investigation. The decision turns on the failure of proof of the factual prerequisite for LAVI relief.

Regeste Omnilex

LAVI art. 2; victim assistance presupposes that the underlying event giving rise to the claim is sufficiently established. If the decisive accident cannot be proven, neither by the claimant nor by the authority's investigation, compensation must be refused. The burden of establishing the factual basis remains decisive; absent proof of the event, no entitlement to indemnity arises.
