“These types of toys can be just as fatal as real guns,” says attorney Finis Price, on of our lawyers with Kentucky Lawyers. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that in assault cases like this, the person who committed the assault may have coverage under their parent’s homeowner’s insurance which is available to the victim. That is why it is imperative for families to seek an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Most attorneys do not handle these types of cases often and so overlook avenues of recovery for the grieving family Price says.
The Clark County Sheriff’s department has reported a shooting outside the Hoosier Hills Sports Bar early this morning. Two men were reported fighting in the Bar’s parking lot over an ex-girlfriendd resulting in one of them being shot twice. The injured man was taken to University Hospital and the shooter, who was unnamed, turned himself in this afternoon.
Attorney Finis Price says that this sort of injury often occurs when alcohol is involved in altercations. “We have handled many civil assault cases exactly like this one and it is very important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure critical evidence is collected as soon as possible,” he says. All too often these sorts of fights are not witnessed by anyone else but security cameras in and around the altercation have frequently been obtained assisting in painting a clearer picture of what really happened he adds.
