Liability in Mass Shootings & Terroristic Acts: Know Your Rights with Herrman & Herrman

Mass shootings and terroristic acts have become a harsh reality, leaving victims and their families devastated. While no amount of money can replace the lives lost or heal the emotional wounds inflicted, victims still have legal rights. At Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers, we’re here to help you fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In the aftermath of a mass shooting or terror attack, determining liability can be complex. While the direct perpetrators are often criminally prosecuted, other parties may also be held accountable for negligence or failing to prevent the tragedy, including:

• Property Owners: Businesses, event organizers, and venues may be liable for inadequate security or lack of emergency response protocols.

• Employers or Institutions: Schools, workplaces, and public facilities may face lawsuits if they failed to address known threats or provide proper safety measures.

• Third Parties: Gun manufacturers, sellers, or organizations that contributed to the act through negligence or illegal activity may also be held responsible.

Insurance Isn’t Always Enough

Many businesses and institutions now carry active shooter insurance or terrorism insurance to cover the costs of mass violence incidents. These policies may provide compensation for:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation

• Property damage and loss

• Counseling and trauma support

However, insurance companies often minimize or delay payouts, leaving victims and families struggling financially. That’s where our legal team steps in—to hold insurers accountable and ensure you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:

• Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
• Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
• Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
• Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
• Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
• Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
• Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
