Crime Victims Frequently Asked Questions

Life can be confusing after you are injured in a crime. At Shaw Law, we aim to make your life easier both financially and emotionally after you have been injured by a crime on business property that should have been foreseen and prevented with adequate security.

We never represent criminals – We only represent victims of crime.

These questions can include:

  • How do I pay my medical bills while I am injured?
  • What is the difference between a making a “claim” and a “lawsuit”?
  • What must I do to get compensation?
  • How much is my claim or lawsuit worth?
  • How long will this take?
  • How is a crime proven to be “foreseeable?”

We have answered all of the difficult questions you might have from start to finish here at Shaw Law – including some questions you might not realize you had in the first place.

Feel free to refer to the FAQs below that we have developed from people just like you over the prior 30+ years of handling premises liability claims and lawsuits for victims of crime.
