Suffering personal injuries in any of these criminal accidents or other ones will set you on the path to damages recovery. In general, Florida laws allow three ways to recover.
The first one requires conviction of the criminal offender. Once he is taken to court and his guilt is proven, recovering damages won’t be a difficult task. It can be a complicated task, though, if the offender remains unknown to law enforcement agencies, because there’s no one to recover from. The second downside is the fact that most criminals simply fail to pay for their damages.
This is where the other two options become important. One of them gives you the opportunity to claim damages from a third person or company. If you sustained personal injuries in a criminal accident or incident on premises under control of a third person or party, then this person or corporation might be liable for the injuries. It is important to figure out if negligent security of premises allows the assailant an unreasonable opportunity to commit the crime and cause the injuries. The person who controls the premises owes visitors a duty of care, which means he must reasonably provide a safe environment for using the premises according to their purpose. If the crime occurs as a consequence of a breach of the duty of care, you may be entitled to claim damages from this person.
The last option leads to the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation. There are certain requirements that your case needs to meet in order to qualify for compensation, but if it does, the process for compensation will be just a simple and ordinary administrative procedure. Unfortunately, this will not lead to complete compensation. Rather you might be able to recover some of your economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages.
The road to damages recovery could be straightforward but could also be filled with obstacles as well. It’s always better to ask for legal help from experienced lawyers.
