If you have been battered or physically assaulted in Coral Gables or your community, you may assume that you have no legal claim that can help you seek compensation. After all, when the police arrive after a crime they are often concerned with pursuing criminal charges against the perpetrator. However, in addition to criminal charges you may be able to file civil charges against the assailant or against the property owner if the property owner was negligent in providing a safe area. If you were attacked in a parking lot, garage, or other property owned by a property owner, you will want to ask questions and speak to a personal injury attorney to find out whether you have a claim. Seeking a claim in these cases can help you get compensation to pay for any injuries you have sustained.
