We Help Shooting Victims Protect Their Rights to Compensation
Shooting victims are often simply victims of circumstance. They suffer unwarranted injuries because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. At Van Amburg Law Firm, we can help you file a claim to obtain monetary compensation for the losses you suffered because of a shooting.
Where Were You When You Were Shot?
Shooting cases can also involve premises liability claims. That means the owner of the vacant lot, home, business, etc., where the shooting occurred may be held liable for the accident. If you were shot while buying groceries, you could possibly file a claim to hold the store owner liable for your injuries.
Who Else Was There?
When a settlement from the shooter does not seem likely, you can possibly receive compensation through other avenues. Things to consider:
- Security - Were you at a nightclub or other establishment that uses security? If so, and there was inadequate security, you might be able to get compensation.
- A driver - For drive-by shootings, the driver could be held liable.
- Other bystanders - If anyone present failed to prevent the shooting, or assisted the shooter, they could be held liable for the shooting.
Leveraging Homeowners' Insurance Policies
If you were shot while in someone's home, you could possibly receive compensation through the homeowner's insurance policy. Most policies exclude coverage for criminal or intentional acts. However, if you can establish that the shooter was mentally impaired, you might be able to get coverage from the family member's policy.

When your injuries are due to criminal actions, you may also be dealing with a criminal case at the same time as your civil case. Attorney Noah J.
