Shooting victims often face physical pain, emotional distress, and financial burdens that last long after the incident. Whether a shooting occurs as part of a robbery, gang violence, a police encounter, or an accident, the consequences can be devastating for victims and their families. In New York, survivors of shootings have the right to seek justice and compensation through civil lawsuits. Crime Victim Attorney specializes in representing shooting victims, guiding them through the legal process and helping them recover compensation for their injuries, medical costs, and pain and suffering.
Your Legal Rights After a Shooting in New York
After being shot, victims may not only deal with severe physical injuries but also significant emotional trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The financial burden from medical expenses and lost wages can add to the stress, making it important to seek legal help.

This process is separate from criminal justice, allowing victims to seek financial compensation for medical costs, lost income, emotional pain, and suffering.At Crime Victim Attorney, we help victims of shootings in New York pursue compensation and hold negligent parties accountable. Whether the shooter was an individual or the result of inadequate security or police misconduct, we fight for your rights and the justice you deserve.
