Legal Rights For Victims of Club Shootings

Attorney contributor, Anjali Nigam, has experience representing victims harmed outside of a club in civil lawsuits. In an interview, Anjali was able to provide advice to assist victims' families in understanding their legal rights when a family member is shot on club property:

"Club and bar owners have the legal obligation of protecting their patrons and making sure their facilities are equipped to do so. The security provided must be robust enough to ensure the safety of customers. Well-lit parking lots, as well as security cameras surrounding the area, are clear examples of needed security measures. The property owner may be considered liable when guests cannot be protected and are injured on the premises."

"The club owner may be considered liable if a crime is deemed foreseeable. For example, if crimes have previously occurred on or near the club's property and management did nothing to improve measures, a crime can be considered foreseeable. In such cases, victims' families, through the services of an experienced violent crimes lawyer, may have grounds for a civil lawsuit and be able to receive compensation for damages."
