accidental gunshot injuries
00:07
are far far too common 20 years ago i
00:11
had my first
00:12
opportunity to represent a family of a
00:14
of a
00:15
young man who was shot and
00:18
over the years that has kind of become a
00:22
a niche part of my practice and in
00:25
representing
00:26
families of gunshot
00:30
victims i have developed sort of a
00:34
network
00:34
of both experts but also advocates
00:38
outside of the courtroom or legal arena
00:42
it really is an epidemic in this country
00:45
every day
00:46
i think 17 or 20 people are
00:49
accidentally shot in this country
00:53
so our role is to not prosecute
00:58
criminals who intentionally shoot people
01:01
but
01:02
represent the families and the victims
01:03
of people who are accidentally
01:05
shot and it happens all too
01:08
commonly unfortunately i had
01:12
a relative a 15 year old
01:16
girl who was accidentally shot by her
01:19
best friend
01:19
in the face it was a situation where a
01:22
gun was left
01:24
out on a counter by an adult and
01:27
uh these young ladies were were in the
01:31
room and one of them picked it up and it
01:32
accidentally went off and
01:34
and the results were were tragic so
01:37
shooting cases are
01:40
part of what i do because i really feel
01:44
there’s a need
01:45
for educating a the victims because most
01:48
people don’t even
01:49
think about this as a remedy that they
01:53
have
01:54
and oftentimes the the medical expenses
01:58
are are just very very high so anything
02:01
that we can do to help
02:03
our clients bear those costs i feel is
02:06
very important
