PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS AFTER AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING

Accidental shootings can result in serious injuries, and individuals who have been injured in such incidents may wonder about their options for filing personal injury claims. If you’ve been involved in a shooting accident, here are some potential claims we can help you pursue:

Negligence

If someone’s negligence led to the shooting incident, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. Negligent behavior can include mishandling firearms, failure to follow safety protocols, or inadequate security measures.

Assault and Battery

If the shooting was a result of intentional actions by someone else, you might have a claim for assault and battery. Even in accidental shootings, there may be elements of intent or recklessness involved, depending on the circumstances.

Premises Liability

If the shooting injury occurred on another person’s property, you might be able to file a premises liability claim. Property owners are responsible for maintaining a safe environment, and if their negligence contributed to the incident, you may have a case.

Emotional Distress

In addition to physical injuries, you may also suffer emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress, as a result of the accidental shooting. To pursue this claim, we will negotiate with the responsible parties or their insurance company to secure fair compensation for your emotional distress.

Product Liability

If a faulty firearm or ammunition was responsible for the accident, you may consider a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the defective product.

Wrongful Death

If someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions led to a fatal shooting, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. This claim can seek compensation for various damages, including medical bills, funeral costs, lost wages, and the pain and suffering of the surviving family members.
