If a key witness is subpoenaed to speak in court on behalf of the plaintiff who was hit by a drunk driver. Does the witness(s) receive any compensation money? I hear that the witness(s) would be GREATLY helping the plaintiff win his/her case against the defendant. There should be money in it for the witness as well, especially if the case has a good chance of winning.

no, not normally because it is considered a sort of "civic duty"... if you are a witness for a friend and you help them, then maybe... but normally no... it could be considered bribery

Not going to get rich, though.
