This is one of the most frequent questions we get from clients. The damages you can recover from the property owner will depend on the nature and severity of the crime which caused your injuries.
The damages can include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of life enjoyment
- Current and future medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Counseling costs
As the victim of a crime, your injuries could be serious and life-altering. The criminal will likely not be responsible for all of the costs you have to recover. That’s why it’s important to file a negligent security claim against the property owner for failing to adequately protect you while on their property. This allows you to collect damages to help you recover.
Your recovery hinges on your lawyer’s ability to protect your rights. Getting a successful outcome from a negligent security claim is not as simple as just saying the property owner is to blame. It is a complex legal process, and not every lawyer has the skills to help victims like you.
