Property Negligence in Criminal Cases
As a crime victim, you may be able to obtain compensation from a property owner or manager, in addition to the compensation received from the perpetrator, if the crime took place while you were on another's property. In our state, property owners and managers are charged with making sure that their premises are safe and secure for visitors. When they fail to do this, and a crime occurs as a result, they can be held financially responsible for the victim's damages.
