Who Is Liable for a Bar Shooting?

Attorney contributor Jesse Forbes is an experienced gunshot victim attorney representing victims across West Virginia. Paul recently explained when a bar owner could be liable for bar shooting injuries.

"Violence in bars happens across the country. However, a duty of care must be upheld by the owners and staff of these establishments to keep their patrons and staff safe from preventable dangers, such as bar shootings. Unfortunately, bar shootings are not an uncommon occurrence, and when they do occur, the victims of these senseless acts of violence are often left with serious physical and emotional harm."

"It is important that clients are aware of their legal rights available to them in the event they are victims of a bar shooting. Victims of bar shootings may be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages related to the shooting. Additionally, victims may be able to pursue legal action against the bar or its owner, if the bar or its owner failed to exercise a duty of care, such as failing to provide adequate security or failing to properly train staff on how to respond to a dangerous situation."

"In my experience, pursuing legal action against the negligent bar or its owner can be an effective way to seek justice and obtain compensation for the harm suffered. It is important for individuals who have been victims of bar shootings to know that there are legal rights available to them in this situation. I strongly encourage anyone who has been a victim of a bar shooting to contact a qualified attorney to discuss their legal options."
