Anonymous5 views4 answers
Son is innocent victim of drive by shooting. He survived but lost his eye. He has undergone severe emotional and physical pain and suffering as well as now having to adjust to being able to see only out of 1 eye. there are 2 people accused and under current prosecution from the state. We now need assistance for civil suit.
This is neither a "violent crime" nor a criminal defense question; It is a personal injury question.
If you want to increase your odds at getting a competent answer then you should re-post this question and list "personal injury" and not "violent crime" as a practice area. In fact, I will do this for you....
As an aside, you may wish to contact and apply for Florida's Crime Victim Compensation Fund (a link is provided below). I don't know if this will qualify but it might, and that may provide some relief while you wait out the civil lawsuit process (if there even is anything to collect in a civil courthouse.)

I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
Very sorry to hear about senseless act of violence and serious harm to your son. You may already be aware of restitution claims which may be part of criminal proceeding through prosecutor's office. This is sometimes a decent last choice option, and goes hand in hand with civil suit. Consider consult with experienced injury attorney in jurisdiction with the specifics of matter and for file review on rights, responsibilities and options moving forward. Liability and damages will of course have to be proved up as part of any claims, however, be aware that unless the defendant(s) had insurance (which insurer may deny coverage for intentional acts or crimes) or assets that can be located and attached = collection on damages may be an uphill battle.
