Types of compensation for a Florida shooting victim

In Florida, there are three main paths to pursue compensation if you or a family member was the victim of a shooting. These are restitution, Florida’s Crime Victim Compensation Fund, and a civil action.

  • Restitution is paid by the offender as part of their sentence and can be used to reimburse the victim for any out-of-pocket expenses related to the crime, such as medical bills, lost wages, funeral expenses, and property damage. Pain and suffering is general not included.
  • The Florida Crime Victim Compensation Fund provides financial assistance to victims of violent crime who have been injured or have suffered psychological trauma. Eligible victims can receive a limited amount of compensation from the fund.
  • In some cases, a shooting victim or their family may also be able to file a civil action against the responsible party. This could be done in addition to or instead of pursuing restitution or compensation from the fund. A civil lawsuit allows the victim to seek compensation for their pain and suffering, as well as other damages such as medical bills and lost wages.

Apartment shooting compensation

Under Florida negligence law, apartment complex owners and property managers generally have a duty to protect residents and guests from crime. If someone is shot at an apartment complex, the owner or property manager may be liable to compensate the victim or victim’s family.

In order to recover compensation in a shooting incident, the victim or their family will typically need to show that the apartment complex owner or manager knew or should have known about potential dangers and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent an attack. Some examples of this may include failing to install or monitor security cameras, failing to perform background checks on residents and occupants, failing to have access control, failing to hire security personnel, having poor lighting in common areas, and more.

If you or a loved one has been shot at an apartment complex due to negligence on the part of the owner or management, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
