Making Sense of the Madness: Dark Knight Rises Massacre

As the pieces fall after the recent shooting in Colorado, victims and their friends and families try to make sense of the tragedy. Correspondingly, the first personal injury lawsuit related to the incident was filed yesterday. Torrance Brown is suing three agencies: the movie theater, James Holmes' doctors, and Warner Bros. (which produced the recent Batman films). Brown claims the theater was negligent by lacking an alarm on its emergency doors, this allowing Holmes to reenter the screening, that the doctors were not properly supervising their patient, and that the previous Dark Knight films inspired the shootings. We will see what happens with this case (and the many others that are likely to spring up) and our hearts go out to everyone affected by this senseless incident.


While this case doesn't have direct ramifications here in California (unless it is successful against Warner Bros.), it does show how the blame for personal injuries can diffuse. If the allegations that the theater was negligent are true, then this crime could have been prevented. It's negligence like that that is at the heart of what Cameron Yadidi Brock, Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, hopes to eliminate in his career. His personal injury law firm, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock Inc., specializes in automobile and motorcycle accidents, though the team also capable handles other suits involving wrongful death, product liability, dog bites, and many more. Mr. Brock is an attorney in Los Angeles who is very honest about the viability of your case (as such he works on a contingency basis), so reach out to him with any questions about your recent injury.
