KendallKendall has been built, destroyed, and rebuilt many times throughout its history. The most recent disaster happened in 1992, when Hurricane Andrew destroyed most of it. Kendall got its name from Henry John Broughton Kendall, a director of Florida Land and Mortgage, who managed the company’s land in early 20th century. Interestingly, locals cannot agree on the actual boundaries of Kendall. The US Census Bureau has done that, however, for census purposes.
Kendall Crime Accident VictimsThe Kendall crime victim lawyers at Wolfson & Leon work to help clients get compensated when they suffered injuries in various criminal attacks. Most likely for your case, you’ll need some of these services:
If you’ve been a crime victim in Kendall, the Florida laws give you several possibilities to recover financially from the injuries you’ve suffered because of the crime. If you are a murder survivor, you can use the very same possibilities for recovery, too. Certain murder survivors are protected by law for certain damages due to the wrongful death of their loved ones.
The Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation offers a possibility to recover for certain economic damages. The procedure is not complicated at all if your case meets all the requirements set by the law and you prove that your case meets them.
Of course, you can claim damages from the criminal offender himself. Once his guilt is proven and he gets convicted in court, his liability for your injuries is clear. However, few criminals can ever pay anything of significance that will come close to meeting your losses.
Third persons or companies may be liable for personal injuries under negligence and premise liability laws. Although someone else has injured you, if their negligence cleared the path for the assailant to commit the crime, they may be held legally responsible. Persons who control premises can be held liable for injuries sustained on the premises if they wouldn’t have occurred if they were not negligent. For example, if someone is battered at a hotel because hotel’s security negligently failed to prevent the assailant from entering the hotel, the hotel can be liable for the injuries and damages.
