Compensation Options for Broward County Crime Victims

Getting compensated for harms and losses due to injuries sustained in a criminal attack in Broward County is feasible when you have the right lawyers on your side. They will get you to one of the three avenues to damages recovery that Florida laws make available to crime victims.

The first one, assuming the criminal offender has been found guilty and convicted by court. That would be a straightforward procedure unless it takes too long to finish. Getting the offender to court and proving his guilt could take a while, that is if law enforcement could reach him at all. But most criminals do not have the resources or the will to satisfy any type of civil judgment.

Whether the assailant has been convicted or not, if the crime has occurred on premises under control of a third person or party, you may be entitled to claim damages from them. These third parties or persons could be convenience stores, banks, gas stations, nightclubs, apartment complexes, bars, restaurants, and shopping centers. They owe visitors a duty of care, which means they should reasonably take all the necessary steps to ensure that visitors are safe from foreseeable crimes and injuries caused by them. Sometimes, they fail to provide this duty of care due to a wrongful act or negligence, and if a crime happens consequently, they may be held legally responsible to pay for your injury-related harms and losses.

Finally, you can reach out to the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation. They don’t focus on who the offender was and who was liable. So long as you can support, with documentation, that your injuries were sustained in a criminal offense, you may qualify to apply for compensation of your some of your economic losses that will be paid to you from their funds.

This brief explanation might sound simple to you, but, things can get complicated. No one wants to be convicted and pay for his wrongful acts. Property owners and managers will always blame the criminal.
