What Does Your State Law Say Regarding Shooting Crimes?

Your ability to recover damages from a property or business owner depends on the state. In most states, a property or business owner has an obligation to protect their invitees from the foreseeable criminal actions of third parties. This means that if you are shot at a hotel, apartment complex, bar, or gas station where there was a history of criminal activity, the owner should have provided reasonable security to protect you from foreseeable danger. However, there are a few states that limit liability to situations where the property or business owner is aware of the imminent probability of specific harm to its customers.
