Legal Recourse For Victims of Strip Club Shootings

Attorney contributor and experienced shooting victim lawyer, Marc Lenahan, represents victims involved in violent crimes. Below, Marc explained various legal options available to victims of strip club shootings. 

"Business owners, including gentlemen's clubs and strip clubs, are legally responsible for providing a reasonable amount of security for the safety of their customers and employees. According to premises liability laws, it is necessary to uphold a duty of care in order to reduce the risk of preventable criminal acts, such as shootings. In addition to adequate lighting in the outside areas and trained security bouncers, a strip club can install security cameras throughout the property. Unfortunately, if a strip club owner fails to maintain a level of safety measures for their customers, a civil lawsuit based on security negligence may be filed with the aid of an experienced shooting victim lawyer."

"The role of the lawyer is to prove any form of negligence on behalf of the strip club owner. When the location has seen an increase in violence, the owner would be responsible for increasing its security. The property owner could be held liable if a reasonably foreseeable crime occurred. Additionally, if the court finds negligence, then restitution may be awarded to the victim or a family member of the deceased victim."
