With more than 60,000 residents, Wellington is the most populous village in Palm Beach County. It is not a real village in any way, though, but officially is referred as the Village of Wellington. It abounds with many entertainment and recreation sites, such as restaurants, bars, parks, and cultural venues which are some of the reasons for it to be named as one of the Top 100 places to live in America by Money Magazine.

Even though it is one of the best places to live in America, it doesn’t mean that crimes are non-existent in Wellington.

Getting injured as a crime victim in Wellington offers three avenues for compensation. Your Wellington crime victim compensation lawyer will help you choose the right one for you, depending on the circumstances of your case.

The first one goes through the criminal proceedings. Once the criminal offender is convicted by court, getting a judgment should be easy – but difficult to recover since most criminals fail to pay financial damages. Sometimes the offender is not caught at all. Fortunately, in such scenario, you can turn to the other options.

If the crime has occurred at premises under control of third persons, partnership or a corporation, they may be liable. Third parties include, but are not limited to banks, retail shops, bars, affordable housing, ATM’s and convenience stores. They are obliged by law to reasonably take all the necessary measures to prevent foreseeable crimes on their premises. When they fail in doing so due to inadequate or negligent security and it leads to crimes and personal injuries consequently, they can be legally responsible to cover for harms and losses of those injured due to the crime there.

Finally, applying to the Florida Bureau of Victim Compensation offers a straightforward but limited recovery procedure as well. Prepare all the necessary documentation to prove that you’ve been injured due to a criminal offense in Florida, and you may obtain compensation for economic losses from them
