Legal Options For Victims of Bar Shootings

Attorney contributor Kevin Biniazan represents violent crime victims in civil court, helping them find the answers and financial support they deserve. We’ve asked him to share his perspective on the legal options available to victims and families in bar shooting cases:

All property owners have a legal obligation to make sure that their premises are safe and that their guests, customers, and visitors are reasonably safe from the risk of preventable dangers. Protecting against the risk of foreseeable violent crime is part of this legal obligation.

When a shooting takes place at a bar, nightclub, or another place of business, there are a few immediate concerns to address. Getting the victims the help they need comes first, along with apprehending the perpetrator. In the aftermath of a bar shooting, it’s also important to determine if negligence on the part of bar ownership may have led to a failure to prevent the shooting. For example, the owner of a bar with a history of violence may be considered negligent for failing to address security which could lead to a settlement for getting shot.
