The most common crimes occurring regularly in the Florida Keys indicate that our Florida Keys crime victim lawyers may be able to help you in the following capacities:
Have in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of injury-causing crimes in the Florida Keys. These are the most common ones, but if you’ve been injured in a different event, you may still be eligible for compensation so speak to a Florida Keys crime victim compensation attorney as soon as you can.
In order to be compensated for injuries sustained due to these criminal attacks, you must figure out who is legally responsible to pay for your injuries, damages, harms and losses. Florida laws provide you with three options.
The Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation can pay for some of your economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages. But you and your case must meet certain criteria before you are eligible.
Another option is waiting for conclusion of the criminal proceeding. You can likely obtain a judgement for compensation and restitution from the criminal. But the reality is that nearly all criminals lack the resources and the desire to fully compensate their victims.
Gas stations, convenience stores, bars, banks, hotels, resorts and marinas are a regular target of assailants in the Florida Keys. These facilities are obliged to take all the reasonable measures for protecting invitees from injuries no matter the source. When a breach of this duty leads to criminal attack and injuries thereof, the person who controls the property may be liable for the injuries sustained. It could be tricky to prove third person’s liability, but with an experienced Miami criminal injury lawyer, it is possible to prove it.
