Negligent shooting

Negligent shootings can occur for a variety of reasons, including unintentional discharges, irresponsible security situations, firearm flaws, and inappropriate firearm handling. These accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, wrongful deaths, and long-term anguish for victims and their families.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a negligent shooting, you should be aware of your rights and alternatives for pursuing justice. You may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the occurrence.

Accidental gunshots can seriously harm or even kill innocent people. In such cases, the gun owner may face both criminal and civil liability. Wrongful death lawsuits are difficult and can only be made by certain family members. These cases are also subject to a different statute of limitations than other forms of personal injury claims. As a result, as soon as you consider filing a claim, you should consult with an attorney.

Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, wrongful death, disfigurement, and disability are all possible damages in a negligent shooting case. Depending on the circumstances of the incident, punitive damages may be sought to penalize the at-fault party for gross carelessness or purposeful behavior.
