Legal Options of Victims Stabbed Inside a Pool Hall 

Attorney contributor Dan Lipman is an experienced violent crimes attorney and has worked with victims of stabbings in civil lawsuits. Dan has shared some of his knowledge on the legal rights available to victims stabbed inside a pool hall:

"Commercial property owners have a legal obligation to uphold the safety of their customers and patrons. They should have security measures in place to protect their customers from dangers. These can include security cameras and hiring trained security guards. If a victim is stabbed on commercial property, they should question the level of security in place at the establishment. In some cases, the victim or their family may have legal rights to a civil lawsuit."

"It may take an experienced violent crimes attorney to prove the property owner was negligent and that the crime was foreseeable. One example is if the property owner was aware of the increasing crime in the area but failed to enhance the security of the establishment. Under these conditions, if a crime takes place, it could be deemed foreseeable. In cases of negligence, the victim should seek the representation of an experienced violent crimes attorney as they may have grounds for a lawsuit."
