Legal Recourse For Victims of Lounge Shootings

Attorney contributor Aaron Blank has represented numerous victims of shootings and their families in civil lawsuits. Aaron has provided his insight on the rights of victims shot on commercial property.

Every commercial property owner has a legal duty to keep their patrons and employees safe while on their property. To ensure this safety, owners must provide adequate security measures which may include hiring security guards. If someone is injured on their property and proper security was not provided, the victim and their family may have grounds for a lawsuit.

In addition to inadequate security, the victim’s lawyer must be able to prove that the crime was reasonably foreseeable. A crime may be deemed reasonably foreseeable if previous crimes recently occurred on or around the property, and the owner did not improve security.
