What to Do If A Minor Has Been a Victim of a Crime
Eltringham Law Group in Boca Raton offers crimes against minors legal services to individuals in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Plantation, Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach. Crimes against minors can vary from sexual molestation to assault, and can encompass other types of intentional actions. When a minor you love has been victimized and/or injured due to any type of crime, it’s an especially emotional situation; it’s important to get justice. Child victims are among the most vulnerable types of victims, no matter what the crime, and cases involving minors must be handled with compassion and specific knowledge of minors’ rights.
Pursuing a legal case involving a minor can be a difficult task. On the one hand, depending on the age of the child, it can be challenging to obtain the information necessary to proceed with the case. On the other hand, as a parent or guardian, there is a natural tendency to want to shield minors from the legal process and from having to appear during legal proceedings or be in the company of the assailant. The personal injury attorneys at the Eltringham Group, however, have decades of experience in handling injury cases. During that time, we have developed the knowledge necessary to effectively and compassionately represent minors who have been victims of crimes.
