I know, but some states bar the seeking of civil damages from a justified shooting.
I believe you’ll find that such a bar applies only to prevent the bad guy-shootee, Mrs. bad guy-shootee, and his blood relatives from seeking damages, and does not apply to an innocent third party.
"Self-defense laws in Florida also establish that people who legally used force are immune from criminal prosecution and civil actions." It doesn't say, "unless the civil action is brought by a third party who suffered damages."
