Who is responsible if you are injured at a shooting range?

Despite the inherent risk of shooting, Florida law does not excuse negligent conduct. As a matter of premises liability, shooting ranges are responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions for visitors.

No matter what waivers are signed, a range may still be liable if it fails to meet safety standards or is negligent in maintaining safe conditions for its clients.

In order to determine liability, the specific facts surrounding your accident must be examined to establish whose negligence contributed to your injury.

Several categories of potential negligence and factors that can be considered by the courts in determining liability in a shooting range injury case include, but are not limited to:

• Premises maintenance - when hazardous conditions or inadequate supervision have created unsafe working conditions
• Safety protocol enforcement - whether safety rules were properly implemented and enforced
• Individual conduct - when the injury is caused by another shooter's recklessness or carelessness
• Staff training - whether instructors properly instructed and supervised safety procedures
• Equipment condition - defects or malfunctions in firearms or range equipment
