Aventura Crime Victim Personal Injury LiabilityYou may be able to claim damages for being injured due to a criminal attack in Aventura. This applies for victims as well as certain survivors of murder victims. The law allows for specific classes of people to pursue compensation following a wrongful death.
In general, getting injured in Aventura will set you on several potential avenues for the recovery of damages. One leads through a criminal procedure. Once the assailant is convicted in court, obtaining a judgment from the criminal should be relatively easy. There are three downsides of this way of recovering. First, if the police don’t identify and catch the assailant, he or she can’t be convicted. Second, even when they take him in court, the procedure can take a while. Third and finally, most criminals never pay financial damages.
If you don’t want to wait while you’re having expenses related to the injuries, you can choose to claim damages from a liable third person or company. If the crime has occurred at premises controlled by a third party such as a mall, convenience store, gas station, convenience store, apartment complex or condominium they likely owe a duty of care to guests and visitors. The law obliges them to take all the reasonable measures to prevent violent and deadly criminal attacks. If they breach this duty due to negligence, they may owe you compensation for your personal injuries sustained during a criminal attack at their premises. Make sure you investigate this opportunity with a Miami crime victim compensation attorney to determine if your case qualifies for damages by a third person.
Finally, the last avenue to recovery includes the Florida Bureau for Victim Compensation. If your case meets the requirements set by the law, you may recover some of your economic damages caused by the criminal.
