Mitch Grissim & Associates Now Handles Accidental Shooting Cases

  United States, Tennessee, Nashville-davidson - 05/07/2019 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Personal injury law firm, Mitch Grissim & Associates, has helped numerous injured victims receive justice after an accident that was not their fault. The law firm handles a wide range of cases including vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and dog bites, among other personal injury cases. Recently, the firm added accidental shooting cases to their practice.  

Accidental shootings occur more frequently than most people realize. In many cases, receiving proper education and following safety procedures while handling a firearm could have saved the lives of those who have fallen victim to this type of accident. Education, safety, and other preventative measures are the greatest tools to reduce accidental shooting cases.  

An article posted by the Tennessean in May 2017 reported that two young boys both under the age of five died after accidentally killing themselves with a handgun that was left out by one of their parents. This heartbreaking story among other accidental shootings has motivated Mitch Grissim to take on this type of case.  

Accidents involving firearms have caused numerous injuries and resulted in death. Some of the most common causes of accidental shootings include misfires, mechanical failures, and failure to lock the trigger. Although the gunshot may have been an accident, the individual holding the firearm could be held liable for any injuries and damages. In some cases, the person who fired the gun may face criminal charges. In this situation, it’s in your best interest to consult a criminal defense lawyer. However, if it was determined that the accident was unintentional, an accidental shooting lawyer may be able to help you obtain compensation for damages.  

In any accidental shooting case, an extensive police investigation is conducted. After the investigation, there will be a determination as to whether or not a financial recovery can be made. The police report is often the deciding factor. If it is determined that you can pursue a claim, an attorney can assist you.  

The attorneys at Mitch Grissim & Associates firmly believe in gun safety. Unfortunately, safety is not always taught or properly implemented. For this reason, their legal team is dedicated and passionate about helping injured victims, or those who lost a loved one as a result of an accidental shooting, receive justice.
