Legal Rights of Victims Shot Outside of a Hotel

Our attorney contributor, Kevin Biniazan, has years of experience representing the victims of violent crimes, including shootings that have taken place outside of a hotel. Kevin has provided some of his knowledge regarding the legal rights of victims shot outside of a hotel:

"Hotels owners, like owners of other commercial property, have a legal responsibility to protect and ensure their patrons' safety on their property. Safety measures such as security cameras, security guards, attentive workers, and well-lit parking lots are just some steps that can be implemented for preventative reasons. Hotels owners and management can be found responsible for crimes that happen on the hotel property without proper security measures in place."

"Neglect is often a constant factor in violent crimes on commercial properties, like hotels. If hotel owners are not doing their best to keep their customers safe, the crime can be considered foreseeable. If the crime rate rises in a particular area, property owners need to increase their security in order to maintain a secure place and ensure crimes will not be happening on their property. If they fail to do so, negligent hotels and predictable offenses can lead to grounds for a civil lawsuit. It is advisable to allow an experienced violent crimes attorney assist victims along with their families to help understand all legal options following a crime on the hotel property."
