Florida Crime Victim Compensation OptionsFlorida laws provide three ways to damages recovery. One of them requires waiting for the criminal proceedings to end. It can take some time, though, but recovering from someone whose guilt has been proven already should be easy. But in reality, criminals rarely pay the full value of the damages caused. If the offender is taken to court at all, or if he has no money to pay, however, could make you turn to other options.
One path leads to an investigation of the premises and actions of third parties in control of the area where the crime occurred. When the crime has taken place on premises under control of a third party, such as retail store, mall, bank, bars, clubs, hotels, resorts or other commercial properties, they could be liable under Florida premises liability laws. Business owners owe visitors a duty of reasonable care, which means they need to reasonably take all the necessary measures to prevent foreseeable crimes on their premises. When they breach the duty due to negligent security, they may be liable for the damages.
Finally, the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation offers an opportunity to recover for economic losses. Make sure you have all the required documents to prove that you meet the legal requirements and hopefully you will be able to make a partial recovery of your out of pocket expenses.
