I was shot in the throat 6 weeks ago by two guys robbing my house. I spent 2 weeks in hospital whcih cost 400,000RD$ after the insurance had paid out its maximum payment. The two guys who did it are apparantly in jail. Is there any chance of compensation here? In the Uk we have the Criminal Injuries compensation board which pays out for things like this. I will need another operation on my throat as I still can't speak - the bullet burned my voice box and I don't have any more cash!
