Types Of Crime Victim Claims We Handle

  • Shootings in an apartment complex or commercial property
  • Burglary victims
  • Rape by unknown assailants
  • Child molestation claims
  • Bar fights
  • DUI victims rights – those injured or killed by a drunk driver
  • Dram shop claims against bar owners whose patrons hurt or kill others
  • Liquor / alcohol liability claims
  • Church official molestation, or other religious organization claims

We are often asked what the difference is between pursing a criminal case and a civil case. In the criminal case, the State Attorney generally focuses on the criminal. The goal seems to be punishing the criminal for committing a crime against the State of Florida. This is why the case is titled State of Florida vs. Defendant X. The victim is often seen as a witness to the crime committed against the State of Florida.

In the civil case, we focus on the crime itself. Could the crime have been prevented? Was the crime foreseeable? If it was preventable and/or foreseeable, did someone or some company fail to adequately prevent the crime? We also pursue the case on behalf of the victim or their family directly. Part of our job is to get the victim and their families answers as to why this happened and how it can be prevented in the future.

Compensation you may be entitled to in a civil claim for a crime victim may include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expense reimbursement
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Funeral expenses (if injury was fatal)
  • Out of pocket expenses
  • Punitive damages

Church Group and Pastor Molestation – Private School – Day Care – Hotels – Neighbors – Apartment Complexes – Gated Communities – ATMs

Property owners and managers may owe a duty to provide security to others on their property. Florida’s crime victim law may allow you to collect money if you are hurt because a company or homeowner failed to provide adequate security, failed to provide any security, failed to conduct background checks on employees, negligently retained dangerous employees, failed to adequately maintain their premises, or failed to put you on notice of a dangerous condition; i.e. that the area was a high crime area.

We have handled crime victim cases against many apartment complexes, private schools, day care centers, a car dealership, hotels, motels, and other properties.

Florida law often limits the time to bring a crime victim claim. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us for a free consultation. We are here to help answer your questions and to walk you through the process. If you are the victim of a crime on a cruise, the time to file the initial notice may be limited to 6 months, and other claims may be as long as 4 years or more.

You should take photographs of your injuries if you have any visible scars, cuts or bruises. As your body heals, these wounds may become less apparent.
