§ 99-41-21. Repayment of compensation; subrogation of state.
If compensation is awarded the state shall be subrogated to all the rights of a claimant or victim to receive or recover from a collateral source to the extent that compensation was awarded. In the event that the claimant or victim recovers compensation, other than under the provisions of this chapter, for injuries or death resulting from criminally injurious conduct, the claimant or victim shall retain, as trustee, so much of the recovered funds as necessary to reimburse the Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund, as created in Section 99-41-29, to the extent that compensation was awarded to the claimant or victim from such fund. Such funds as are retained in trust under the provisions of this section shall be promptly deposited in the Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund created in Section 99-41-29. If a claimant or victim brings an action to recover damages related to the criminally injurious conduct upon which compensation is claimed or awarded, the claimant shall give the director written notice of the action. After receiving such notice the director may join in the action as a party plaintiff to recover any compensation awarded.
