Attorney contributor Anjali Nigam will discuss legal options available to shooting victims and their families.
Commercial property owners must maintain a safe space for their patrons and employees. In order to do so, property owners must provide adequate security. If a violent crime occurs on a property with inadequate security, then the owner may be held liable for the crime.
The crime must also be deemed reasonably foreseeable in order for a victim to have grounds for a lawsuit against a property owner. A reasonably foreseeable crime is one that occurs on a property with a history of violent crime yet the owner did not improve security measures.
