Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys are proud to announce an upcoming educational webinar aimed at informing the public about their legal rights after being shot due to negligent security. As gun violence continues to be a serious concern across the country, many victims and their families are left wondering what legal options they have. In many instances, criminal charges are not the only path to justice—victims may also be entitled to financial compensation through civil lawsuits. This webinar will provide critical insights into how such claims are pursued and how negligent property owners can be held accountable.
The webinar, titled “Can I Sue for Being Shot? Understanding Your Legal Rights,” is an upcoming event, with the date and time to be announced later on the website. It will feature expert legal professionals from Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys, a nationally recognized law firm with decades of experience in representing victims of violent crime. The goal of the session is to provide accessible, practical information for victims of gun violence and their loved ones who are navigating the aftermath of a traumatic incident.
Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that determine liability in shooting cases. This includes an overview of the legal standards for proving negligent security, how civil lawsuits differ from criminal proceedings, and the types of damages that can be recovered. The webinar will also offer guidance on how to gather crucial evidence, from surveillance footage to incident reports and eyewitness statements. Participants will learn about the role of expert witnesses, and the legal strategies attorneys use to secure favorable outcomes for victims.
Topics Covered in the Webinar:
– Understanding negligent security and premises liability
– The legal grounds for suing after a shooting incident
– Key evidence required to build a strong case
– How civil lawsuits differ from criminal cases
– The role of expert witnesses and legal strategies for success
– What to expect when filing a civil lawsuit for shooting-related injuries
Michael Haggard, Esq., managing partner of Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys, emphasized the importance of this webinar, stating, “Too often, victims of gun violence are left without the answers they need to pursue justice. Property owners have a legal duty to provide a safe environment, and when they fail to do so, victims have the right to seek compensation. This webinar will provide crucial legal knowledge and empower victims and their families.”
Victims of shootings that occur in locations such as apartment complexes, shopping centers, hotels, nightclubs, or parking lots may have a viable claim if the property owner failed to provide adequate security measures. These measures might include hiring trained security personnel, maintaining working locks or gates, installing sufficient lighting, and responding appropriately to known threats. The existence of prior criminal activity on the property can also strengthen a victim’s case.
The webinar is designed to be accessible not only to victims and their families but also to community leaders, legal professionals, and anyone concerned about safety in public and private spaces. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert legal advice during a live Q&A session with the attorneys of Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys. The event aims to create an open dialogue about legal rights, safety, and accountability.
