There is nothing more terrifying than being involved in a mugging, robbery, assault, or other violent crime. In many cases, survivors of these types of crimes are left shaken and frightened. While they may be able to report their situation to the police and pursue criminal charges, survivors also often face considerable recovery times, lost income, and medical bills as result of their injuries. In some cases, survivors are able to pursue a legal claim against property owners and other liable parties in these situations.
If you've been injured as the result of a violent activity, is important to consult with a personal injury attorney in Pompano Beach or your community so that you understand all your legal rights and options. You can always reach Flaxman Law Group if you would like to speak with a full-service law firm whose attorneys have more than sixty years of combined legal experience.
The Expenses in a Premises Liability CaseSurviving a serious violent attack such as a mugging, robbery, rape, sexual assault, or assault is extremely traumatic. Unfortunately, it often also leaves expensive and painful injuries behind. Survivors may have to lose months of work time and income opportunities and they may face long-term or even permanent medical bills if they have sustained a serious injury such as a brain injury or spinal cord injury as a result of the attack. In many cases, perpetrators use knives, guns, or other weapons in order to perpetrate their crimes, and this can leave serious or permanent injuries for survivors.
If you have been injured in this way, it is important to hold all liable parties responsible. This often includes not only the criminal who has perpetrated the crime but also the property owner who may have been negligent in providing a safe area.
Pursuing Justice in Your CaseUnfortunately, criminals often take advantage of unsafe conditions and inadequate security in Pompano Beach and other cities in order to perpetrate their crimes. For example, if a parking lot is a deserted and has no alarm systems or safety precautions, it can be easier for someone to approach a victim in this type of situation. If a condo unit has incorrectly maintained doors or windows, this can allow access for robbers and other perpetrators of violent activity. If a shopping mall is inadequately lighted at night or does not have security guards, it can be easier for someone to rob or mug victims walking to and from their cars. In all of these cases, survivors of the crimes may be able to pursue a legal claim against the property owners as well as against the person who was responsible for the crime in the first place.
