Are Club Owners Liable For Shootings On Their Property?

Attorney contributor Anjali Nigam would like to discuss property owner liability for shootings and stabbings in nightlife destinations:

Keeping your premises secure is a key responsibility of owning a business. When customers visit a bar, nightclub, strip club, or other nightlife destination, there is an expectation that they will be safe from preventable dangers, including foreseeable crime. While some incidents of violent crime may not be preventable, others only occur because of negligence on the part of a property owner, such as inadequate security at a bar with a history of violence.

When negligence plays a clear role in enabling or failing to prevent a violent crime, those who were injured during the violent incident may have grounds for a lawsuit against the property owner.

Determining if a property owner is liable for a shooting, stabbing, or another violent incident is a complicated process. If you or someone you love recently got injured or killed during a violent crime, you can learn more about your legal options by discussing your case with an experienced crime victim lawyer.
