Keep in mind that this is not a complete list of all the crimes that may occur in South Miami. If you happen to be injured in a different criminal event, you can still call a lawyer to help you understand whether you may get compensated.
South Miami Crime Victim InjuryWhichever of these accidents happen to you or your loved ones, the criminal offender is liable for the injuries. Once his guilt is proven in court and he is convicted, he ort she will probably be required to compensate for your harms and losses. However, you might have to wait for a while until this happens, and criminal defendants rarely have sufficient financial assets to compensate their victims. However, all hope is not lost - there are two other ways to recover compensation after your injuries from a South Miami crime.
Another option exists if the crime has occurred on premises under control of a third person. This could be a store, a gas station, a bank, a mall, or any other property that is being operated by someone at the moment of criminal offense that gets you injured. The operator of the premises owes a duty of care to invitees, such as guests, invitees and customers. If they breach this duty due to a wrongful act or negligence, and that clears the path for the criminal offense, they may be liable for the injuries and damages as well. If you happen to be injured on such premises, make sure you investigate the possibility of their liability. The best way to do that is to consult with a South Miami crime victim compensation injury attorney.
The last option is applying for compensation at the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation. Check out if your case meets the requirements set by the law and if so, apply for recovering some of your damages. Our South Miami crime victim compensation attorneys can answer your questions in your free consultation.
If you haven’t been directly injured by the criminal accident, but you’ve lost a loved one, you may be eligible for compensation as a survivor. Murder survivors suffer immense emotional pain and sometimes lose financial support of the decedent. The law allows you to claim certain damages recovery as well.
Things are not that simple in practice, though. Although laws allow you to represent yourself, it’s smart to get professional legal help in situations like these.
