Personal Injury Lawyer David Knight from Steinger, Iscoe & Greene Comments on Potential Security Negligence Following Shooting of Bar Patron Who Lost Her Arm
(PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- David Knight, a personal injury lawyer at Steinger, Iscoe & Greene, comments that Las Brisas Bar in West Palm Beach allegedly failed to protect Margaritta Sandoval from a fellow patron. Her arm was shot off with a 12-gauge shotgun following an argument.
“Owners of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and other establishments are responsible for keeping their premises safe for visitors. This means they must take certain steps to ensure the safety of patrons, including both preventing and breaking up fights,” alleges Knight, an accomplished and highly esteemed trial lawyer who was interviewed by WPEC-TV CBS 12 News (7.16.13) regarding the incident.
According to lawyer Knight, Victor Martinez went outside, took a shotgun out of his car and shot Sandoval as she was going back into the bar. The incident allegedly followed an argument which started inside the bar when Martinez “inappropriately touched” Sandoval. The shooter was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder [WPEC-TV CBS 12 News 7.16.13].
WPTV aired the security camera footage showing the moment of the shooting.
“Despite video, witness statements, and facts, property owners and-or their insurance company will likely offer an accident victim a settlement amount less than what an injury is worth. Clients with injuries due to possible security negligence deserve to receive maximum monetary compensation for their injuries and suffering,” alleges Knight.
As a former trial attorney for insurance companies, Knight understands the case from all angles and uses his insider knowledge of insurance company tactics and patterns to obtain maximum compensation for his clients. His familiarity with the mindset and business practices of insurance companies has been a key asset in his efforts on behalf of his clients.
“Accidents caused by negligent security are premise liability cases similar to ‘slip and fall’ accidents,” alleges Knight. “Both types of accidents can be linked to the failure of property owners or businesses to keep those who are legally on their premises safe.”
Lawyers at Steinger, Iscoe & Greene understand that property owners or businesses must implement adequate security measures to protect patrons from injury from a third party. If an event like violent assault or rape occurs, the property owner or business may be held accountable for negligence.
“Toward the end of my career working for insurance companies, I saw case after case in which insurance clients were accused of unethical and improper behavior. I then realized I could no longer work for those companies. Now I fight for innocent victims and work collaboratively with other lawyers to advocate for the people we represent,” Knight, the Director of Litigation for Steinger, Iscoe, & Greene alleges.
Individuals who were attacked, assaulted or injured while on commercial or business property, contact the injury lawyers at Steinger, Iscoe & Greene for help receiving full and fair money damages for the injuries linked to the altercation.
Steinger, Iscoe & Greene has obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for clients.
