Can I Sue For a Restaurant Shooting?

Attorney contributor Kevin Biniazan represents victims of criminal violence and their families in civil lawsuits. Kevin has some insight to share about the legal rights of restaurant shooting victims.

Restaurant owners are legally obligated to provide adequate security on their property in order to prevent violent crime. If a property owner fails to provide adequate security and someone is injured on-site, then the victim may have grounds for a lawsuit against the property owner.

Additionally, the crime that happened must have been reasonably foreseeable. Therefore, if a reasonably foreseeable shooting occurs at a restaurant with inadequate security, then the property owner may be held liable for the crime.
