Firearm accidents often cause injuries that leave lasting physical and emotional effects. Survivors may spend months in recovery, while families may be left coping with an irreplaceable loss.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A gunshot wound to the head can interfere with basic functions. Survivors may lose the ability to speak clearly, recall information, or control movement. Many require long-term care.
Spinal Cord Damage
When the spine is struck, mobility can be reduced or lost entirely. Survivors often face a lifetime of rehabilitation and may need daily medical support.
Internal Organ Damage
Gunshots to the chest or stomach can injure vital organs. Even after surgery, survivors sometimes live with reduced function or recurring health complications.
Fatal Shootings
Accidental discharges can take lives in an instant. Families may pursue wrongful death claims to confront negligence and ease the financial impact of loss.
Psychological Trauma
The aftermath of a shooting can bring lasting fear or post-traumatic stress. Survivors and loved ones may struggle to regain a sense of safety and experience anxiety or depression, as well as flashbacks or PTSD.
These injuries show why firearm personal injury claims matter. They highlight the profound consequences of preventable shootings and the need for accountability.
Why People File Firearm Lawsuits
Firearm accident lawsuits are usually filed because safety rules that should have protected people were ignored. Some claims center on guns left where children could access them while others are filed after a weapon malfunctioned, even though the problem was known to the maker. There are also lawsuits against individuals who handled firearms carelessly, such as leaving their gun out with a child present. By working with a firearm accident lawyer, survivors and families can hold the appropriate parties responsible for their actions and get the support needed to regain stability after the shooting.
Who May Qualify to File a Firearm Lawsuit
Eligibility depends on the details of the shooting and whether negligence or a defective weapon can be shown.
Survivors of Accidental Shootings
Individuals hurt when a firearm discharged unintentionally may qualify for a claim.
Victims of Unsafe Storage

Defective Firearms
Cases where a weapon misfired or malfunctioned due to a design or manufacturing flaw.
Children Injured by Guns
Parents may file lawsuits if their child was harmed because a firearm was not properly stored.
Families of Deceased Victims
