MIAMI, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Many victims of child molestation may wait years until the criminal trial of the person who hurt them. However, Florida has two main additional paths in which a victim of child molestation may pursue justice.
1. Civil claim for a crime victims
While the criminal case revolves around holding the criminal accountable, a civil claim involves investigating the crime itself. In a civil claim, we may look at how the crime occurred, why it occurred, and whether it could have been prevented somehow. Any person, school, company or other entity who could have prevented the child molestation from occurring, who had a legal duty to do so, may be held negligent under the law and be required to compensate the victim.

MIAMI, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ The pharmaceutical product liability lawyers at the Law Offices of Jason Turchin are investigating claims where patients who were taking Elmiron developed maculopathy or other eye disease. Several Elmiron lawsuits have been filed around the United States and are now being consolidated in New Jersey. Elmiron, used to treat chronic bladder infection called interstitial cystitis, causes eye problems according the several lawsuits and studies.
A recent study found a possible link between long-term PPS use and the potential development of a toxic maculopathy. In June 2020, Elmiron changed its label to warn patients of the risk of certain eye issues from taking the medication. Unfortunately, by this time many patients taking Elmiron already began suffering from maculopathy, and other eye problems.
