Was negligent security a factor in this bar shooting? Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Bar and nightclub patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the lounge and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, bright lighting, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the lounge owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.

Could this unconscionable stabbing have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Sanchez?

Kennesaw police are investigating an alleged hate crime, which left 26-year-old Humberto Sanchez seriously injured July 13, 2018.

According to The AJC, Mr. Sanchez was approached by two men “outside SuBourbon Bar on Summers Street,” shortly before midnight.

Mr. Sanchez told Channel 2 he believes the stabbing was “racially-motivated.” The suspects apparently began making derogatory racial remarks shortly before brandishing a knife. Mr. Sanchez was transported to the hospital with injuries. Police are still searching for the two suspects.

Our Legal Take

Nightclub and parking lot patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the subject property and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, bright parking lot lighting, indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
  • Were any attempts made by lounge security or management to de-escalate the initial altercation and safely and separately remove all those involved from the premises, prior to an escalation to gunfire? Were police called at the start of the initial dispute?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the lounge or parking lot owners failed to provide adequate security, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries.
