§ 147.365 Law enforcement agencies to inform crime victims of compensation procedure; agencies not civilly liable for failure to comply

If you're a crime victim in Oregon, the police or other law enforcement agency that handles your case is supposed to give you a card explaining how to apply for victim compensation. This compensation program helps cover costs like medical bills or lost wages that come from being a victim of a crime.

That said, the law doesn't give victims a way to sue the police if they forget to hand over this card. So while agencies are expected to provide this information, there's no legal penalty against them if they drop the ball on this specific task. If you're a victim and never got this card, you can still look into compensation on your own through the state's victim compensation program.
