Can I Sue for a Nightclub Shooting?Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. You could have the right to file a lawsuit against the property owner. This is based on the concept of premise liability, in which property owners owe their guests a duty of care. They have the duty to identify and address any risks or dangerous conditions to ultimately prevent incidents. Property owners must consider the crime rate, whether there are tensions in the area (i.e., the area has a history of gang violence), and more. To ensure the safety of guests, property owners must evaluate all risk factors and take action to reduce the risk to guests, whether this means increasing surveillance, increasing security, changing hours of operations, introducing metal detectors, etc.
Ultimately, property owners cannot anticipate when there will be gang violence in the area that will affect their guests; however, property owners can take action to reduce the risk to guests.

If you find yourself unsure of your right to sue, do not hesitate to reach out to our legal team as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to guide you every step of the way.

Under California law, injury claims and wrongful death claims, both, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. What does this mean?

Therefore, those looking to file injury claims or wrongful death claims would have two-years to file their claims. What happens if I do not file my claim on time?
