After a violent crime, financial stress adds to an already overwhelming situation. Florida's Crime Victims Compensation Program may help with certain out-of-pocket costs, including eligible cleanup expenses in some cases.
What the program covers
The program is administered by the Florida Attorney General's Office.
It may cover medical bills, mental health counseling, lost wages, and other eligible expenses for qualifying victims.
Cleanup and remediation costs related to a qualifying criminal act may be considered depending on circumstances and documentation.
How to apply
- Report the crime to law enforcement and obtain a case number
- File a claim with the Bureau of Victim Compensation
- Submit invoices from licensed remediation providers
- Work with your assigned advocate for documentation requirements
Working with a licensed cleanup company
Insurers and compensation programs require proof that remediation was performed by trained professionals using proper disposal methods. BioClear Pros is licensed, insured, and provides itemized documentation for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County properties.
Documentation BioClear Pros provides
We supply itemized invoices, scope of work, and proof of licensed biomedical waste disposal.
These records support insurance claims and compensation applications.
Our Hollywood headquarters enables fast tri-county dispatch when families need immediate help.
For 24/7 dispatch, call (954) 678-4799 or see our crime scene cleanup services.
Insurance versus compensation
Homeowner or commercial insurance may cover remediation after a covered loss.
Crime Victims Compensation is a separate program that may help when insurance does not apply or limits are reached.
Keep all invoices, police case numbers, and disposal records together for both processes.
Tri-county and SWFL response
BioClear Pros serves Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Lee, Collier, and Charlotte County.
Fast documentation helps families file claims while remediation is still fresh.
Ask dispatch about unmarked vehicles when discretion matters in your neighborhood.

What to do before a crew arrives
Wait for official release when investigators still hold the property.
Do not wipe blood or fluids with household cleaners — that can spread contamination.
Secure pets and clear a path to the affected rooms when it is safe.
Note elevator, parking, and HOA rules so staging stays on schedule.
Share gate codes and on-site contacts when you call or book.
Insurance documentation after remediation
Many Florida policies cover biohazard remediation after a covered loss.
Ask for photos and an itemized scope when adjusters need a written record.
Keep claim numbers handy if you already opened a file.
Landlords and HOAs often need a written summary for tenant or board records.
Coverage decisions remain with the insurer and policy language.
Fire and smoke cleanup notes
Fire cleanup starts after the fire is out and re-entry is cleared.
Soot, smoke odor, and contents sorting are in scope — structural rebuild is separate.
Read fire restoration or call for a fire assessment.
Do not smear soot with household cleaners before an assessment.
Who to involve before cleanup starts
Confirm who can authorize work — owner, manager, or estate representative.
Loop in insurance only when a claim is already open or you plan to open one.
HOA or building contacts help with elevators, parking, and quiet-hour rules.
Keep one point of contact so the crew is not waiting on conflicting instructions.
Spanish-friendly communication is available when families need it.
