We’re on Your Side
Being the victim of a crime can be a distressing and overwhelming experience, especially during legal proceedings. If you have been subjected to a crime that may result in a prison sentence for the accused, you have the right to a målsägandebiträde (plaintiff counsel). This applies, for example, in cases of assault or sexual offences. As the injured party, you do not pay for the plaintiff counsel — the cost is covered by the state. You also have the right to choose your own legal representative, which is why it’s important to select a lawyer or legal expert with solid experience.
The main role of the plaintiff counsel is to support and represent crime victims throughout the legal process. They can also handle your personal claims, such as compensation for damages. Another important aspect of their role is to support you during questioning and appeal proceedings in the Court of Appeal. In short, your counsel is with you every step of the way.
As a crime victim, you are often in a vulnerable and difficult position, which makes it vital to feel trust and confidence in your legal representative. At Segerström Law Firm, we have extensive experience acting as plaintiff counsel. When you hire Segerström, you can be sure that your rights are fully protected and that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
