Kentucky Lawyers Representing the Victims of Gun Injuries
It seems like every day on the news we hear about someone who did not secure a firearm at home, and as a result, children were seriously injured or killed. Adults should know that telling a child "don't touch" is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. You have just made the child all that much more determined to get at it.
At the Louisville, Kentucky, law firm of Joseph L. White & Associates, our attorneys represent the victims of gun injuries, as well as the surviving families of adults and children killed in gun accidents. We understand how a homeowner's negligence can forever change lives, so we work forcefully to hold gun owners accountable for the harm they cause.
Gun Injuries at School
School safety is also a growing concern today. Students are being shot on school grounds — K-12 schools, colleges and universities — at an alarming rate. If your student has been hurt on school premises, you have the right to sue the school or university. We trust our schools to protect our children. They are obligated by law to secure their buildings and make school grounds safe, and they betray our trust if they know weapons are on the premises and turn a blind eye.
One young man, a promising football star, is now a paraplegic after he was shot at a fraternity/sorority dance on campus. The university and the fraternity/sorority was held responsible, and rightly so — because they failed to ensure student safety. We just cannot allow this to happen. Even once is one too many times.
It Doesn't Take Much to Cause a Hunting Accident
Perhaps you know someone who has been hurt or even killed in a hunting accident. Experienced hunters won't want to admit it, but even they are not immune from weapon malfunctions and accidental discharges.
The truth of the matter, however, is that most accidents involving guns are caused by human error. Many people just don't have the training they need to handle a gun or rifle.
It doesn't take much to cause an accident — and when guns are involved, even the smallest of errors can spell disaster.
