Petersburg Gun Accident Lawyer

Home >> Petersburg Gun Accident Lawyer

Gun accidents and gun accident deaths are tragic events. Many times gun accidents happen because the firearm is loaded and left within the reach of a curious child. In an instant, the trigger is unintentionally pulled and the child is severely injured or killed. Usually the victim of a gun accident is an innocent child, but older youths and adults are also targets. The way these shootings occur is fairly simple and all too common.

In 2010, 45% of households had a gun stored in the home. Nearly three-fourths of those households said they owned the gun primarily for self-defense and protection against crime. Research shows that most gun accidents occur in the home, and close to all of them involve guns that have been purchased as a line of defense. These statistics help to provide insight into how gun accidents happen, and how they may be prevented.

Gun Accidents Occur Due to a Variety of Circumstances.

Children curiously look for firearms that they know are hidden in their parent’s home. Teenagers seek thrill and entertainment from playing with guns (whether owned by a parent or purchased illegally), often while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And in some cases, gun accidents happen to adults that are unfamiliar with how to properly handle a gun.

It is the sole responsibility of the gun owner to protect any children in the home from accessing a loaded firearm. However, accidents do happen. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a gun accident, you may be entitled to compensation for damages.
