Arizona Gun Injury Attorneys
Statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that approximately one American is killed by gunfire every 15 minutes. Each year, well over 100,000 individuals are seriously injured by firearms.
Violence and suicide are responsible for many of these injuries and deaths. Some are hunting accidents. A significant percentage of cases involve gun owners who leave weapons loaded where children can get at them, or who are careless handling them -- the classic "I didn't know it was loaded." Occasionally, a weapon is defective and unreasonably dangerous due to errors in design or manufacture. And some wrongful shootings are caused by folks who exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms -- but don't bother to exercise the responsibility to learn how and when to use their firearms.
At Plattner Verderame, P.C., we understand why gun accidents happen and are committed to helping injured victims obtain justice and compensation from negligent gun owners, manufacturers and others as well. If you or a family member have recently suffered a gun-related injury, contact our attorneys for a free consultation and learn more about your rights and options.
