Attorney contributor Mike Pfau is an experienced violent crime attorney and represents victims of shootings and their families in civil lawsuits. Below, Bobby provided his thoughts on the legal rights of victims wounded during a shooting.
“Bar owners have a legal obligation to uphold the safety of patrons on and around their property. To ensure the safety of all patrons, bar owners should implement adequate security measures. Such measures include, but are not limited to, cameras, guards, and strong lighting. If a bar owner does not provide ample security measures on their property, and a patron is harmed in a violent crime, the property owner may be deemed liable in court."
“In cases of shootings on commercial property, the property owner could be deemed liable. In violent crime cases, if a crime is deemed reasonably foreseeable, the property owner could be deemed liable for negligence. An example of a reasonably foreseeable crime is if crimes rates in the area increased, but the property owner did not implement more security measures. In cases of negligence, a victim and their family should know they may have grounds for a civil lawsuit and receive compensation for damages."
