Attorney contributor Bobby Thompson, a stabbing victim attorney in California represents violent crime victims and their families in civil cases. Mr. Thompson has offered to share some information on filing a lawsuit for stabbing victims. 

“It is important to understand that property owners legally have to provide adequate security on their premises in order to keep their patrons and employees safe from preventable dangers. Adequate security may include things like video surveillance and sufficient lighting in parking lots. Sometimes property owners do not offer adequate security and as a result of their negligence patrons may be affected by shootings and other violent crimes. If a patron becomes a victim of violent crime due to inadequate security, then he or she may have grounds for a lawsuit against the property owner,” explained Mr. Thompson.
