Types of Crimes that Cause Injury
We Only Represent the Victims of Crime.
We NEVER represent criminals or accused criminals in any criminal court at any time of their criminal court proceedings.
Crime in Indiana is a big problem. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2019 Indiana violent crimes were over 350 murders, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults per every 100,000 population.
We NEVER represent criminals or accused criminals in any criminal court at any time of their criminal court proceedings. We bring actions in civil courts where money damages is the remedy. We do not represent any person in any criminal court action involving the same crime. We are not involved in the sentencing of any criminal nor the criminal trial of that person.
We help ONLY those injured persons to get complete justice and full damages for ALL of their injuries, including for pain and suffering, and the horrible effect upon their future lives.
Complete Damages and Full Justice can NOT be accomplished by any criminal court when ordering restitution or by any state agency or group. Only a Crime Victims law firm like Shaw Law, is able to get you complete damages for pain and suffering, disfigurement and lost wages. We are here to get you FULL JUSTICE. Not just restitution.
Many times we are asked what types of injury cases we handle when a person is injured by a crime. We handle the following cases (and some others, too).
