We advise and represent clients who have sustained personal injuries in any kind of criminal attack. We work to help them recover financially through one of the three possibilities allowed by the Florida legal system.

We often advise Hialeah crime victims about the procedure at the Florida Bureau for Victims Compensation to obtain some compensation for economic losses such as lost wages or medical bills. The procedure is regulated, and you will have the burden of providing the evidence that you have been injured in Florida. Once you have satisfied the requirements you will be eligible to recover some of your economic losses.

The next possibility is recovering by the criminal offender, but this is usually a waste of time. Criminals often don't get caught, criminal procedures take time, and even when they are convicted, they don't have money to pay. While it may seem to be the simplest path, it rarely produces any satisfactory results.

Finally, if the accident happened at premises that someone was obliged to keep free of foreseeable crime, then the premises owner or manager may be liable for the damages caused in the crime. Locations where a third party could be responsible for failing to provide a reasonably safe environment from foreseeable criminal actions may include retail stores, gas stations, banks, nightclubs, gentlemen’s club, or any other commercial establishment that invites customers.
