Our client was shot four times while at a gas station after work, suffering gunshot wounds to his shoulder, thigh, hand, and abdomen. The perpetrator remains unknown, but the gas station had a documented history of violent incidents and lacked basic security measures that could have prevented the attack.
The defendant initially denied responsibility, claiming the gas station was not liable for the conditions that allowed the shooting to occur. Through thorough research, we documented prior crimes on the property and demonstrated the lack of adequate security.
Initially, the insurance company offered $100,000, which wasn’t enough for the client’s losses. The case proceeded to mediation, where the defense’s best offer was $300,000. After one final push post-mediation, our client received a $425,000 settlement.
The settlement covered medical bills, lost wages, and emotional damages, with more than half going directly to our client. Throughout the process, he felt supported, well-informed, and confident in our team’s advocacy.
