Recuperación de daños por disturbios en Nueva Jersey

Si un grupo de personas causa daño a tu propiedad, puedes pedir que te paguen por eso. Si un municipio o condado ya pagó por esos daños, puede demandar a las personas que estaban en el disturbio para recuperar el dinero.

Es como si en una fiesta alguien rompe un jarrón y el dueño de la casa decide que el grupo que estaba ahí debe ayudar a pagar por el jarrón roto.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que en una manifestación en el parque, un grupo de cinco personas rompe las ventanas de la tienda de María. Si la ciudad paga por las ventanas, puede demandar a esas personas para recuperar el dinero que gastó.
