San Diego Crime Victim Lawyer
Getting the justice you deserve.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a crime, you’ve been through a physically and emotionally draining experience. It can also be a financial drain with possible medical procedures, physical rehabilitation, lost wages, or property damages. Of course, the court can order the convicted criminal to pay for the victim’s medical costs, but this often isn’t enforced or limitations may be placed on damages. That’s when you might want to consider filing a civil suit.
Protect your rights. Call the Law Offices of Elliott N. Kanter at 619-330-5881
for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
The benefits of filing a civil suit.
There are many reasons why you and your loved ones may file a civil suit.
- Control. When the victim and his or her family are named in the suit, they can’t be excluded from the court. This can aid in final approval of settlement proposals.
- Liability, not guilt. In a civil suit, the offender is tried for his or her liability in the crime against the victim.
- Restitution. Civil cases help victims recover monetary damages caused by the crime.
- A sense of closure. Victims and their loved ones may experience a sense of closure that criminal trials do not often provide.
