OUR LEGAL TAKE
Business patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the subject property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:
- Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
- What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
- Was the management aware of any suspicious activity or suspicious persons on property prior to the shooting?
Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.
