Did you know that owners of property can be responsible for paying medical bills, lost wages and even pain and suffering when someone is a victim of a violent crime on their property?

Everybody knows that a driver that causes an accident can be held responsible for the injury he causes. Everybody knows that a store can be held responsible when someone slips or falls there.

But most people don’t know that land owners can be held responsible when muggings, physical or sexual assaults, shootings and/or stabbings occur on the owner’s property.

The owner can be held responsible when the injured person can show that the owner should have provided a certain level of security.

Whether the crime occurs at a shopping center, mall, apartment complex, nightclub or a bar, the question of security is the crucial reason. Even parties or graduations that occur at catering halls or a person’s home can result in the victim obtaining insurance benefits.

Florida Victim Compensation Fund
Generally, the injuries suffered by a victim of a violent crime are severe.  Many victims are out of work for extended periods of time and have significant medical bills that add to the stress and strain of the tragedy.  Our Florida law firm will direct you and assist you in obtaining any and all benefits available through the State of Florida Victim Compensation Fund.  This fund will pay benefits which will help but not fully compensate the victim for what is usually a life changing event.   Claims for lost wages and medical bills are common.

While many Florida personal injury law firms handle auto accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, product liability and other similar cases, the cases involving civil claims for criminal acts is not common.  These claims, which are referred to as “negligent security” cases, require assistance and testimony from experts that have been in the police and/or security field. Several of the attorneys in our group have developed a strong presence in this highly specialized area of law.

Beyond the physical injury that one suffers from these types of incidents, often times the more debilitating injury is the emotional and/or psychological impact.  Contact iNeedaPersonalInjuryLawyer.com to get connect with one of the leading negligent security attornies in Florida.
