Victim Representation in Criminal Cases
If you have been the victim of a crime in Czech Republic, you have legal rights in the criminal proceedings — not just as a witness, but as an injured party (poškozený) with the right to legal representation, to claim compensation, and to be heard at trial.
Many victims of crime in Czech Republic — particularly foreigners — do not know these rights exist or how to exercise them. Czech criminal procedure allows injured parties to be represented by a lawyer, to present evidence, to file motions, to address the court, and to seek a damages award directly within the criminal case rather than having to file a separate civil lawsuit.
PEERS Law Firm represents injured parties in Czech criminal proceedings. We help you file a criminal complaint, navigate the investigation, and enforce your right to full compensation. We work in English and explain the process clearly at every stage.
