Legal Options for Victim of Shooting on Property

Jason Amala, an experienced criminal violence lawyer, licensed in California, represents victims of shootings and their families in civil lawsuits. Bobby provided insight into the rights of a victim of a violent crime against a property owner.

Are property owners obligated to uphold the safety of people on their property?

“Property owners must uphold the safety of those on their property. Property owners must provide adequate security to ensure the safety of visitors and prevent violent crime. An example of adequate security is a well-lit atmosphere or security cameras. If property owners fail to provide ample security, and someone is injured on-site, the victim and their family may have grounds for a lawsuit.”

What is an example of how a property owner would be considered liable? 

“A property owner can be considered liable if the crime was reasonably foreseeable or the property owner was negligent. A crime can be determined reasonably foreseeable if previous violent crimes occurred on their property, and there was no security improvement. If a victim’s lawyer can prove that the victim was injured in a preventable crime, and it only occurred because of inadequate security, the property owner may be found liable. Therefore, the victim may have a lawsuit as the crime was reasonably foreseeable.”
