In a deeply tragic wrongful death case, our law firm represented the grieving family of a minor child who was fatally shot while visiting a friend's apartment. The circumstances surrounding the case involved significant issues of premises liability and general negligence, as the apartment complex failed to provide adequate security measures that could have prevented this heartbreaking incident.
