Local News
24-year-old Casey Smith was reportedly shot and injured outside Club Climax Sunday morning, December 4, 2016.
According to WITN News, gunfire erupted “in the parking lot of Club Climax,” around 2:00 a.m. Mr. Smith apparently suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach and was “transported to Vidant Medical Center with critical injuries.” His current condition has not been released.
Our Legal Take
Nightclub and parking lot patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at in the parking lot and whether this shooting may have been prevented.
- What security measures, such as weapons screenings, bright parking lot lighting, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime at the time of the shooting?
- Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property and, if so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to protect patrons?
Generally, property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the nightclub parking lot owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Casey Smith may seek justice and elect to pursue a legal claim for his injuries.
Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
