Homicide and Terrorist Acts Leading to Civil Claims and Lawsuits

Most everyone associates personal injury law with the victims of accidents, such as those who are hurt in traffic collisions, construction or industrial accidents, boating accidents, train or airplane crashes, through dog attacks, and similar incidents. These accidents are often caused through the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of others. Few people realize that personal injury and wrongful death law may apply to those who are deliberately injured or killed through criminal or terrorist attacks. Such incidents can include gang-related attacks of violence against others, home invasions, carjackings, sexual assaults and rapes, homicides, and terrorist incidents such as the recent shootings at the Washington D.C. navy yard where 13 people were fatally gunned down and eight others injured by a military contractor.

Examples of deliberate violence committed against an individual are a common story in the news media. Recently, a 34 year-old woman in Melissa, Texas was found dead after filing charges against her former boyfriend who had raped her, tied her up and held her captive in his garage. She left behind a 17 year-old son. An investigation into her death is ongoing.

Those who are victims of criminal attacks often feel helpless and overwhelmed by the trauma of the event as well as by the trauma of their injuries or the loss of their family member who died through a wrongful act. These people should not have to worry about their financial security in the aftermath of such a traumatizing incident. They deserve rightful compensation for the losses and damages they have suffered and may continue to suffer long into the future.
