Silver Spring Victim Compensation Lawyers

Unlike the criminal justice process, the civil justice system does not attempt to decide an offender’s guilt or innocence. Offenders are also not put in prison. Rather, civil courts attempt to find out whether an offender or a third-party is liable for the injuries sustained as a result of the crime.

At the law offices of Goldberg Finnegan, we represent victims of crimes in civil cases against third parties. Crime victims can file civil lawsuits against offenders and other responsible parties.

When Can a Third-Party Be Held Liable for a Crime?

A third-party can be held liable for a crime when inadequate measures were taken to protect a person from harm.

For example, if a person is assaulted in an apartment complex, we determine whether the owners and property managers of the apartment complex may be liable for the person’s injuries as a result of having insufficient security measures in place, or for failing to warn of known dangers in the neighborhood.

If the defendants are found civilly liable, courts may order them to pay monetary damages to victims. While money awarded in civil lawsuits can never fully compensate a victim for the trauma of victimization or the loss of a loved one, it can be a valuable resource to help crime victims restore their lives.

More so, the exposure to civil liability is a powerful incentive for landlords, businessmen, and other proprietors to enact the security measures necessary to prevent future victimization.
