West Palm Beach Injury Lawyer — Victims of Shootings
A criminal act doesn't mean there's no civil case. Grey looks at who else could be held responsible.
When a shooting happens because a property owner or business ignored known security risks, victims may have a path to compensation separate from any criminal case.

Negligent Security
Were you or a loved one shot at an apartment complex, business or other property in Florida?
You may be entitled to compensation. These claims are called negligent security, and they are a type of premises liability.
Property owners, businesses and apartment complexes have a duty to provide adequate security. How much security is needed depends on the property and the neighborhood. In high-crime areas, more security is required.
If you were shot, or a loved one was killed, because a property did not have proper security, the owner may be responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case against the shooter.
There is a limited time to file a claim in Florida, so don't wait. Call or text 561-686-6886 now for a free injury case evaluation.
