INDIRECT
VICTIMS

They can assert their right to compensation by justifying a family, friendly or sentimental link.

Depending on the close relationship with the main victim, case law has developed a sometimes disconcerting level of compensation, to which reference must be made, if only sometimes to derogate from it.

The persons concerned are parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, husband or wife, children, close friends, etc. …

Indirect victims can assert their rights both before the courts of the judiciary (civil, criminal) and before those of the administrative order (administrative court, Administrative Court of Appeal, Council of State). They must be able to prove a strong link with the direct victim, especially when the relationship is not that of a direct family link.
