America’s Premier Shooting Victim Compensation Attorneys

The toll on Americans from gun violence is enormous. Each year, 36,000 Americans are killed by guns – an average of 100 per day. Roughly, 100,000 Americans are wounded by guns each year, often with life-altering injuries. The epidemic of gun violence in the United States devastates our families and communities, especially the underserved communities of color. Black Americans are 10 times more likely than white Americans to be murdered with a gun. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a shooting, please consider speaking with an experienced Langdon & Emison lawyer.

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.
