Key Biscayne Crime Victim Financial Recovery OptionsSuffering an injury because of crimes on Key Biscayne will put you on a three-avenue crossroad for damages recovery. The most straightforward of them is waiting for conclusion of the criminal proceedings. When the criminal offender’s guilt is proved, his liability for your injuries is proved as well. Recovering from him should be easy but criminals rarely if ever pay the full measure of their damages.
In that case, you could turn your attention to third parties or persons who could be legally responsible for compensating you. When the injury-causing crime has occurred on premises under control of a third party or person, that person may be liable for your damages or injuries. Owners of retail stores, gas stations, bars, and other commercial establishments that invite visitors and guests onto their premises owe a duty of care to their visitors. They must take all the reasonable measures to prevent injuries on their premises. If a breach of this duty leads to the crime in which you sustained your injuries, the owner of the premises may be responsible for your harms and losses.
The last avenue is the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation. The administrative procedure with them is quite simple if you meet the requirements set by Florida laws. Keep in mind that you’ll have to provide them with lots of documentation to prove your right to get compensated and your recovery will be limited to economic damages.
