Attorney contributor Kristen Beightol is an experienced gun violence attorney in North Carolina. She recently explained the legal rights available for victims, including answering, "Can I sue for being shot at a mall?"
"The increase of gun violence has ravaged entire cities, taken lives, and wreaked untold pain. Sadly, these horrific events happen too often in churches, schools, and malls. These are all locations where people should feel safe and not have to worry about the dangers of gun violence."
"Often, due to the carelessness of a third party, violent crimes such as mall shootings are often able to occur. The law requires malls and shopping complexes to keep their facilities and parking lots safe for customers. The security measures needed to secure their premises will depend on many different things. Security cameras, patrolling security personnel, and adequate lighting are some basic security measures that can decrease the risk of preventable dangers. It is possible for the victims of mall shootings to pursue a lawsuit for compensation if negligence is a factor. They can consult with an experienced gun violence attorney to explore their legal options. "
