Who Can and Should Sue UVU For Causing Kirk's Death

WASHINGTON - Rezul -- While the most obvious cause of Charlie Kirk's tragic but preventable death is the person who pulled the trigger, the law has always recognized that a shooting or other injury can have more than one cause.

For example, there have been many lawsuits against schools, whose negligence in failing to provide reasonable protection from gunmen who might shoot someone there, was (in addition to the shooter) also a "cause" in the legal sense; thereby making the school (and sometimes even those in charge) legally liable for all the harm caused by the shooting.

Because the Utah Valley University [UVU] was clearly negligent in failing to take even very inexpensive and quite reasonable precautions against a threat which was clearly foreseeable, . . .

Additional Lessons From Charlie Kirk's Murder

Moreover, if Kirk's estate for various understandable reasons doesn't bring such a wrongful death legal action on Kirk's behalf, many other people at the event can bring a lawsuit; the mere filing of which would help protect future Turning Point USA [TPUSA] and other speakers on campuses, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf. . . .

Anyone who was near by Kirk when he was shot (including many in the audience), and who claims to have suffered emotional distress as a result of witnessing this shocking bloody event at very close range, could bring a valid and probably successful lawsuit against UVU.

That's why a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit, brought by one or more people near Kirk when he was murdered, would be so important in pressuring universities to provide adequate protection in the memory of Charlie Kirk, says Banzhaf.
