Many victims of crime do not realize they may be eligible for compensation through a civil personal injury claim. Even if your case is lost in criminal court, you could still possibly seek reparation through a civil lawsuit. If you or a family member has suffered a sexual assault, molestation, battery, or other criminal action, Leesfield & Partners has the resources to help you. Our attorneys have decades of experience representing the victims of criminal activity in Florida.
Our Attorneys Help Crime VictimsOur attorneys recently won a settlement exceeding 40 Million dollars on behalf of a crime victim in Key West. The victim was assaulted by a man with a hammer in a parking lot. Our firm was able to prove that the security on the premises was negligent and therefore responsible for her compensation. There are many similar cases of crime in Miami and South Florida, and our attorneys are dedicated to helping the victims in these cases.
Crime And Personal InjuryUnder Florida law, any person who is harmed through the negligent actions of another person or entity may seek monetary compensation for their damages. This expression of the law translates into additional protection for crime victims. One significant type of personal injury law involves resort torts, which deal with assault, robbery, or other injury that occurs while at a resort, on a cruise ship, at an amusement park, auditorium, theatre, night club, or other recreational venue that is expected to provide security for it’s patrons. These types of large facilities have an obligation to provide adequate protection, security, and safety on their premises. If they fail to do so, the attorneys at Leesfield & Partners can help to ensure they are held financially responsible to the victims of crimes that are committed on their property. Even if the person who committed the crime itself is not known, you may be eligible for compensation under Florida law.
