South Carolina Crime Victims Attorneys
Every day innocent people are injured and even killed because of criminal activity. The South Carolina crime victim lawyers at the Strom Law Firm, L.L.C. serve as victim advocates and are here to help you fight back. We represent crime victims and their families. While we cannot change what happened, we can help you recover just compensation for your injuries or loss.
Sometimes the prosecution is not a favorable result for the family. Even if there was no prosecution, crime victims could still file civil lawsuits against offenders and other responsible parties. Unlike the criminal process, the civil system does not attempt to determine an offender’s guilt or innocence.
Civil courts try to determine whether an offender or a third party is liable for the injuries sustained as a result of the crime. If defendants are found civilly liable, courts can demand compensation for the monetary damages that they caused. While money awarded in civil lawsuits can never fully compensate a victim for the loss of a loved one, it can be a valuable start to help crime victims rebuild their lives.
