Attorney contributor Anjali Nigam is an experienced shooting victim lawyer in Texas. He represents clients involved in violent crimes, such as shootings, in private civil litigation. Anjali recently shared various legal options available to victims, including a shooting victim's right to sue a nightclub.
"Bar and nightclub owners are legally obligated to provide some form of security for their patrons and employees. They are bound to adhere to the premises liability laws, just like other property owners. Adequate security can vary from having well-lit parking lots to hiring trained security guards. However, if a property owner fails to improve security for the safety of their patrons, victims may file a civil lawsuit with the guidance of an experienced shooting victim lawyer."
"The lawyer will work to prove negligence on behalf of the nightclub owner. This will include proving a reasonably foreseeable crime occurred due to the property owner's failure to improve security despite knowing violence in the area was on the rise. If the court finds the nightclub owner negligent, then monetary compensation may be awarded to the victim."
