The Haggard Law Firm has secured a $3.54 million settlement in a wrongful death negligent security case centered around a shopping center in Central Florida. Attorney Douglas McCarron represented the family of a man who was shot and killed while after his shift at a restaurant and club within the shopping plaza in 2022. 

The victim, a hardworking young man and beloved son, left behind two grieving parents who sought justice after his tragic and preventable death. Due to confidentiality terms, the names of the parties involved in the lawsuit remain private. This case is a powerful example of how gun violence and negligent security intersect. The lawsuit alleged that the shopping center and the restaurant/club operator failed to provide adequate security—including the absence of video surveillance, security guards, or off-duty police officers—despite being in an area with a history of criminal activity.

“The lack of basic safety measures created an environment where violent crime could occur unchecked,” said McCarron. “This settlement is a step toward accountability and a reminder that property owners have a legal duty to protect the public.” 

The Haggard Law Firm is nationally recognized for its work representing victims in gun violence lawsuits, negligent security cases, and other forms of premises liability. With a focus on holding businesses and property owners accountable, the firm continues to fight for safer communities and justice for victims of preventable violence.
