Tucson Lawyer Representing Crime Victims
One person's crime or culpable negligence may rob an innocent victim of health, wellbeing — even life itself. No matter how your injury occurred — in a shooting, a car accident, or some other way — the road to recovery may be long and challenging. Life is never the same after a violent attack at a workplace, a drunk driving accident or a sexual assault. A family member who has been lost to homicide will never be replaced. Surviving family often spend the rest of their lives seeking healing and peace.
Paths to Recovery After a Criminal or Negligent Act Injures or Kills
When the unthinkable occurs, victims and their family members may need help to move forward. Schedule a consultation with an experienced personal injury and wrongful death lawyer who focuses his law practice entirely on pursuing paths to recovery, including compensation for victims of crime. See Elliot GLicksman's discussion with NBC Dateline correspondent Josh Mankiewicz concerning his representation of the victims in the Gary Triano car bombing case in Tucson.
Support Groups
Sharing experiences with other victims may offer glimmers of hope and comfort. See Internet links on the Support Groups for Victims page of this Web site for information about support groups and resources that have helped many victims and their families.
Criminal Justice Process
Following a criminal case through its various phases in court may bring a certain degree of closure for some victims. A personal injury lawyer with an in-depth understanding of criminal law is a valuable source of support.
Advocacy: Preventing Future Tragedies
Advocacy designed to prevent future injustices is one form of action that many have found worthy of attention and effort. One example is laws patterned after "Megan's Law," requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. By working toward legislation through advocacy born of outrage and grief, it is possible to play a role in protecting potential crime victims.
Civil Litigation
Losses stemming from crime or negligence typically go beyond emotional pain. A surviving victim or family member may face extraordinary health care costs, may not be able to work as before and may face years of therapy and rehabilitation. Taking legal action is a way to move in the direction of healing and recovery.
