1 Dead after Armed Robbery at Luxury High-Rise in DTLA – Property Owner Liability for Apartment Building Robberies

Gunshot wounds can be very dangerous. Some of the possible injuries that could occur as a result could include the following:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries, which could lead to paralysis
• Organ damage
• Hemorrhaging

Ultimately, this depends on where the gunshot injury occurred. If the gunshot affected a major organ, the consequences can be fatal.

This is a very important question. Of course, the attacker could be held liable for his or her actions and could face criminal charges. However, other parties or entities could be liable for their negligence. The shooting incident mentioned above is the second incident in the last two years. Therefore, the property owner could be liable for failing to ensure that they had appropriate security, surveillance, alarm systems, etc. especially after previous incidents. Liability is based on the concept of premise liability. Although property owners may argue that they could not have known that the shooting would happen, property owners have the duty to ensure that their entire premises remain safe of any risks or hazards. As soon as one incident occurs, then the property owner must take action to prevent any further incidents.
