Attorney contributor Jason Amala is an experienced violent crime attorney who represents victims and their families in civil lawsuits. Bobby has provided his knowledge on the legal rights of victims of stabbings.
All bar owners are obligated by law to provide a safe environment for their patrons and employees. In order to provide adequate security to ensure no one is injured, property owners can hire security personnel or establish well-lit parking lots. If inadequate security is in place, and someone is injured or killed in a shooting or stabbing, then the owner may be held responsible for the victim’s injuries.
Additionally, a victim’s lawyer must be able to prove that the crime was reasonably foreseeable in order to have grounds for a lawsuit against the property owner. A reasonably foreseeable crime is one that occurs on a property that has had previous occurrences of violent crime, or rising crime rates in the area.
