Common Miami Gardens Shooting AccidentsAccording to statistics, Miami Gardens has greater violent crime rate than Florida as well as the whole United States. Shooting accidents contribute to these statistics. Our Miami Gardens shooting injury lawyers often represent shooting victims. They help them recover from the following incidents as:
Shooting accidents end up with very serious consequences, and often it can result in death. You, as a crime victim, or as a survivor upon a wrongful death of a loved one, have the right to claim damages for your injuries. You can claim them from the offender, but that’s not recommendable. Offenders rarely pay anything because they rarely have money, if they get caught at all.
If the shooting has occurred at premises of a commercial establishment such as an adult entertainment bar, convenience store, bank or gas station, they may be legally responsible to pay you for your losses. Florida premises liability laws oblige commercial institution to reasonably protect their visitors from foreseeable harm. If they breach that duty due to negligence, then they may be liable for the incident and resulting injuries or wrongful death.
If none of these options is likely to help you obtain compensation, you may be able to recover some of your economic losses from the Florida Bureau for Victim Compensation. If you meet the legally set requirements, you may be able to get some compensation for medical bills and/or lost wages. There is a lot of paperwork to be done but compensation is possible.
