Lawsuits For Families of Fatal Stabbing Victims

Attorney Jason Amala has experience representing stabbing victims in the state of California. During a recent sit down with Bobby, he discussed the legal rights for families of fatally stabbed victims to sue a venue. 

"Event venues and organizers have a legal obligation to keep both their guests and performers safe from preventable crimes and injuries. It is important to plan for any potentially dangerous situations and offer preventative security measures to reduce the risks of them occurring. This could include having sufficient trained security checking coats and using metal detectors at all entrances. The event could also ensure proper security between guests and performers. Failure to provide adequate safety could cause a venue or the event management company to be held liable for violent crimes, such as stabbings."

"Event stabbing victims and their families may have grounds to file a civil lawsuit. If negligence can be proven to be a factor, they may even be entitled to financial compensation. Injuries and deaths caused by stabbings at an event can cause physical, emotional, and financial burdens on the victim and their family. An experienced stabbing victim lawyer can help the victim or their families to seek the justice they deserve."
