The Legal Chronicle
Gas station patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on property. By law, gas station owners and managers must protect their guests from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a gas station owner have knowledge of prior criminal activity on or near property, they have a duty to implement additional security precautions, such as bright parking lot lighting, security patrols and surveillance cameras, to protect guests from further crime. Should a gas station owner or manager fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.
I am the Victim of a Gas Station Shooting. Should I Hire an Attorney that has Telephoned Me or Contacted Me Directly?
The American Bar Association Rule 7.3 states that a lawyer “shall not” contact a prospective Client through a “live telephone” or an “in-person” visit. If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
