(1)No right of action at law against a person who has committed a criminal act for

damages as a consequence of such act shall be lost as a consequence of receiving

benefits under the provisions of KRS 49.270 to 49.490. In the event any person

receiving benefits under KRS 49.270 to 49.490 additionally seeks a remedy for

damages from the person or persons who have committed the criminal act resulting

in damages, then and in that event the Crime Victims Compensation Board shall be

subrogated to and have a lien upon any recovery so made to the extent of the

payments made by the state to or on behalf of such person under KRS 49.270 to

49.490.

(2)If compensation is awarded, the state is subrogated to all the claimant's rights to

receive or recover benefits or advantages, for economic loss for which and to the

extent only that compensation is awarded from a source which is, or, if readily

available to the victim or claimant would be, a collateral source.
