When violent or criminal activity takes place, most people put the blame squarely on the perpetrator. However, there may be other liable parties involved, and this is especially important if you have been injured in a violent act and want to pursue justice as well as fair compensation in your case.
For example, those who own or manage the property where the incident took place can be found liable in a premises liability claim in Hialeah if they did not take adequate security measures to prevent the crime. This is because in many cases criminal activity is not random – perpetrators can take advantage of lax security measures to carry out violence. Flaxman Law Group attorneys have helped thousands of attack survivors and personal injury plaintiffs over the years secure fair compensation for their injuries.

Who is Looking After Your Rights if You Have Been Attacked?In many cases, there are already attorneys involved after a crime has been committed. In many cases, criminal charges are filed against the perpetrator of the violent action or illegal activity. That person may be given a defense attorney and there will usually be an attorney representing the state or the victim in order to press charges against the attacker. However, in a criminal case, the main objective is to determine whether the criminal is guilty or not. Even if he or she is found guilty, the survivor of the attack will get no compensation.
For this reason, many victims turn to personal injury attorneys in Hialeah or their communities in order to seek civil damages as well. A personal injury claim can help the survivor of a crime seek compensation from liable parties for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. In many cases involving a criminal attack, assault, battery, or mugging, inadequate security contributed directly or partly to the attack. In these cases, the property owner can often be held liable for the injuries sustained and the survivor of the attack can pursue compensation that can help them pay for the many bills they may face as a result of their attack.
