If you or a loved one has been the victim of a crime, you have gone through a physically and emotionally exhausting ordeal. Medical treatments, physical rehabilitation, lost earnings, and property damage may all add up to a costly burden.
If you were injured while a crime was being committed on someone else’s property, you can sue the property owner for justice and equitable recompense. Too frequently, property and company owners are aware of an impending or present threat yet do little to protect those on their premises.
You don’t have to be a victim if you’ve been hurt; let Marc Brown Law Firm assist you.

What Damages Can You Recover After Being A Crime Victim?
Compensation is the primary public policy goal of tort law. Money damages are given to compensate and make the plaintiff whole are known as compensatory damages. The system isn’t without flaws. It is impossible to reclaim one’s life, limb, or pain-free status. Compensatory damages, on the other hand, are a way of seeking to put the plaintiff in the same relative position as before the loss by monetary compensation. General and specific damages are the two types of compensatory damages.
Medical expenditures are one of the most prevalent types of costs that we collect on behalf of our clients.
- The cost of treating psychological difficulties that arise as a result of the crime, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
- The price of physical or rehabilitative treatment
- The price of prescription drugs
- Wages lost if you were unable to work due to your injuries.
We think that money will never be able to undo the devastating effects of a crime, but it can provide you with the financial security you need to focus on your recovery. This is why we strive so hard to ensure that every crime victim receives a just recovery.
