Kidnapping victim could benefit from Miami personal injury lawyer

While no degree of security can completely eradicate crime, there are steps that businesses and private citizens can take to make their property as safe as possible. If you suffer harm because someone has fallen short in this way, a Miami personal injury attorney can help determine if you have a case against them.

Last month, CBS Miami reported that three young offenders – who were not named because of their ages – had been charged with carjacking, kidnapping and robbery. Two of the accused individuals allegedly forced the victim, who has also chosen to remain anonymous, out of his vehicle at the corner of West Dixie Highway and 135th Street and locked him in the trunk.

Hours later, after retrieving the third minor charged, the perpetrators drove the victim to a Wells Fargo and made the individual withdraw cash from an ATM at the site.

Just as the three suspects charged in the crime will have to secure a Miami attorney, the victim involved may also have grounds to consult a personal injury lawyer.

If you are the victim of such an attack and feel that it could have been prevented with increased security, contact a Miami personal injury attorney to review the case. This professional can review potential shortfalls on behalf of the property owners involved, such as inadequate lighting or the lack of security personnel in a high risk area, that would support a negligent security claim.
