Financial Compensation for Shooting Victims

Attorney contributor Jason Amala provides legal guidance to victims of violent shootings and their families. As an experienced shooting victim lawyer, he helps families of victims fatally shot get the gunshot settlement they deserve. During a recent interview, Bobby went over the legal options available to victims shot on commercial property.

"Commercial property, including liquor store owners, have a legal duty to keep their properties secure from preventable dangers, such as shootings and stabbings. When a shooting happens, leaving victims injured or killed, an investigation should be conducted. While this usually is centered around the perpetrator, it should also include the property owner's security measures. Adequate security measures would consist of security cameras and well-lit parking lots, but there are many more. These security measures are to reduce the risk of preventable crimes, helping to keep the customers and staff reasonably safe."

"When a business owner fails to implement a safety plan, they can be deemed negligent and held accountable for foreseeable crimes on their property. When violent crimes occur due to inadequate security or other forms of negligence on behalf of the property owner, victim or their families may have grounds to file a lawsuit. Additionally, if negligence is a key factor, they may be entitled to a settlement when they file a lawsuit against the commercial property owner. Victims of shootings or the families of those fatally shot can learn more about their legal options by discussing their potential case with an experienced shooting victim lawyer."
