The recent shooting in Granada
Hills raises severe legal questions, potential negligence,
and liability concerns linked to school events safety
GRANADA
HILLS, Calif., Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Thursday evening, a
17-year-old boy was shot near Granada Hills Charter High School
following a high school football game where a fight broke out. This
alarming incident has brought into question the adequacy of
security measures at school events and the broader responsibilities
of the institution in ensuring student safety.
As a graduate of Granada Hills High School,
this incident is deeply personal. Our schools have a fundamental
duty to protect the safety and well-being of their students and the
surrounding community.
Adam Savin, founding partner of
SHK Law and an alumnus of Granada Hills High School, expressed his
deep concern: "As a graduate of Granada Hills High School, this
incident is deeply personal. Our schools have a fundamental duty to
protect the safety and well-being of their students and the
surrounding community."
SHK Law has identified several legal implications that could
arise from the incident, including potential negligence claims
against the school for failing to provide adequate security,
premises liability, failure to de-escalate a situation that
resulted in a fight, and the overarching duty of care that
California law requires educational institutions to uphold. It
foresees severe criminal charges if an arrest can be made, such as
assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder, which the shooter
could face upon apprehension.
Grounded in extensive experience with civil liability,
negligence, and premises liability law, SHK Law is committed to its
mission of achieving justice and keeping this community safe. As a
prominent firm in the San Fernando Valley, SHK Law advocates for a
comprehensive investigation into this incident and calls for a
rigorous review of school security protocols to prevent future
incidents and ensure community safety.
The teen is expected to recover from the injury, and while
information regarding the suspect(s) is not yet available, the
investigation is ongoing. SHK Law will continue to monitor the
situation closely as more details emerge.
