John Doe vs Short- Term Vacation Rental Property ABC– Location Confidential
John Doe was on spring break when he and his friends rented a short-term rental property. His friends threw a house party where, according to police reports, as many as 100 people attended. During the party, criminal assailants were able to enter through the side gate at the property and shot and paralyzed Mr. Doe. The Defendants in this matter argued that this was a targeted shooting. The Haggard Law Firm argued that this property never should have been rented out in the first place as the local city code does not allow for short term rentals in that area. They also argued the hosts of this property should have provided better security for their guests, including Mr. Doe. As a result of this shooting, Mr. Doe, at only 20 years old, was rendered a paraplegic.
