Abstract

This article examines the role of judicial practices in supporting victims of traffc accidents, focusing on the interplay between legal frameworks, victim support systems, and societal values. Through a comparative analysis of global legal systems and an in-depth exploration of domestic laws in Serbia, the study highlights the importance of judicial sensitivity, victim participation, and the integration of public health perspectives in legal responses to traffc accidents. The research reveals substantial variability in the implementation of victim support mechanisms and underscores the potential of restorative justice practices in fostering recovery and reconciliation. Key conclusions advocate for enhanced victim participation in the judicial process, improved accessibility to support services, continuous education for judicial officials, and necessary legislative reforms to strengthen victim rights and protections. The findings aim to contribute to the ongoing discourse on improving judicial practices to better support traffc accident victims, reflecting a broader commitment to justice and human dignity.
