The Roads is off the normal Miami street grid, so all the streets in the area are called roads, not streets and avenues like in the rest of Miami. The Roads abounds with old homes, tree-covered streets, some historic public schools, and religious centers. The neighborhood is small, with only 7,300 residents who live there.

The Roads Crime Victims Compensation OptionsCrime victims who have been injured in The Roads criminal events may be eligible to compensation from the criminal offender, third persons, or from the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation.
On paper, recovering from the offender should be easy once he is proven guilty and convicted in court. In reality, they almost never pay for damages. They either don’t get caught by the police or don’t have the money to pay for all your injury-related harms and losses. That’s why you should consider the other two options.
If the crime has occurred at a commercial location, the person or corporation that controls these premises may be liable under Florida premises liability laws. Commercial enterprises such as amusement parks, affordable housing buildings, convenience stores, and shopping centers owe visitors a duty of care, which means taking all the reasonably necessary measures to anticipate foreseeable crimes. When negligent security causes a breach of this duty, and that leads to crimes and injuries, they may be legally responsible to pay for the damages caused by their negligence.
The third option leads to the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation. All they want you to do is support your claims with clear-cut evidence that you’ve been injured in a criminal accident in Florida. That would be enough to get you compensated for some, but not all, of your economic losses.
