Paper main body: the current civil legislation of Ukraine stipulates the right of victims of criminal offenses on the restoration of rights violations. But there are cases where recovery is impossible. The reasons for this is that, first, is guilty of a criminal offense a person is insolvent, and the actual recovery of funds it usually extends over many years and is irregular. Secondly, the problem relates stopped criminal proceedings in which a person has committed a criminal offense is not established and the victim is deprived of right to file a civil action. Thirdly, the remedy is not possible victims in unsolved criminal offenses, such as when a person has committed a criminal offense established, but avoids investigation and declared her search does not give the desired result. Gained international experience in the development of a special law should be used in Ukraine, but specific to Ukrainian legislation, because the main problem of state compensation is to finance the payments. To solve this problem, determine the range of persons who will be entitled to compensation, the amount and source of such compensation, as well as a body which has the authority to have compensation from public harm.
Conclusions of the research: the proper functioning of the mechanism in practice state compensation of damage caused offense should solve the problem of effective restoration of the rights of persons who are victims of crimes and timely compensation to the victim harm.
