A 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were struck by the gunshots outside of the lounge. They were transported to the local hospital and treated for their minor wounds.

Legal Rights of Victims Shot Outside of a Lounge or Bar

Attorney contributor Aman Sharma is an experienced violent crimes attorney and has represented numerous victims of shootings. Aman offers his thoughts on the legal rights of victims that were shot at a lounge or bar:

"Lounge and bar owners have a legal obligation to keep their guests protected, both inside and outside of the building. To ensure this safety is upheld, the lounge owners should have a level of security measures in place. These can include surveillance cameras inside the lounge and outside in the parking lot. This can also include hiring guards and having proper lighting around the establishment. If a lounge or bar owner fails to provide this adequately, they may be held liable for crimes that take place on the property."

"Often, when crimes, such as shootings, occur on private property, it may be due to negligence of the property owners. Property owners and managers can be deemed negligent if the crime that was committed was foreseeable. A prime example of a foreseeable crime is when the crime rate increases in the area and the property owner fails to respond with an increase in security. Any victims of shootings that happen on a lounge or bar property should question if the proper safety measures were taken to keep them protected because they may have grounds for a civil lawsuit. Seeking the services of an experienced violent crimes attorney would be the next step in seeking justice and to learn their legal rights."
