Usually, a person who commits a violent crime will have criminal charges brought against them by a prosecuting attorney. Criminal charges result in criminal penalties\u2014such as jail time\u2014 but do not provide restitution for non-economic damages for a victim. As such, a victim of a violent crime may be legally within his or her rights to bring civil charges against the offending party for all damages incurred. That’s where the attorneys of Napoli Shkolnik help. Our experienced Violent Crime Attorneys can help in the representation and recovering damages.<\/p>\n

Violent crimes are an area of much concern to lawmakers, law enforcement agencies and citizens alike. Perpetrators of these crimes victimize tens of thousands of people \u2013 in New York alone. According to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, there were 25,931 violent crimes and 4,851 violent crimes with firearms committed in 2011 alone \u2013 in all areas of the state except for New York City. According to statistics presented by the City of New York Police Department, there were more than 40,000 major felony offenses committed in New York City in 2011. The majority of these were felony assault (18,482) and robbery (19,717). Another 515 were murder and non-negligent manslaughter. Looking at these statistics, it is easy to see why this is an important focus of our NYC-based law firm.<\/p>\n
A violent crime may be defined as a criminal offense that involves the threat, attempt or act of violence against another person. Assault, robbery, rape, manslaughter and murder are all examples of violent crimes. These are generally the most serious criminal offenses that a person may commit, and the penalties upon a conviction may be severe, including years, decades or live in prison and heavy fines. These penalties may be well-deserved, but what about the significant injuries and losses the victim has experienced?<\/p>\n
Many victims of violent crimes may be unaware of their right to file civil lawsuits in which the responsible party or parties can be held liable for their actions. This type of legal action is filed in civil court, where the defendant (party accused of causing harm) faces financial penalties if found guilty. The plaintiff (injured party or representative of the injured party) may be entitled to financial compensation for such damages as medical expenses, lost earnings, future medical care, loss of future earnings, pain and suffering. The victim may also be entitled to punitive damages, which are awarded to penalize the wrongdoer for his or her actions and discourage others from committing similar acts. The money recovered in a civil suit cannot erase all of the pain and trauma that a violent crime victim has experienced. It can, however, make it far easier to pay medical bills and begin rebuilding and moving on after such an incident.<\/p>\n
