OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Apartment complex residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this incident may have been prevented.

The following list of questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the incident?
Were any security personnel at the property?
Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the incident?
Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for her injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the victim retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect her interests.

Successful Legal Outcomes in Similar Cases.

The Murray Law Firm has a long history of representing victims of violence and security negligence, and we offer legal analysis to victims and potential Clients. We have obtained nearly $250 Million in verdicts and settlements for our Clients, including:

A $29.25 million dollar verdict for a victim of an unsafe property.

We have over 25 years of experience representing victims of work accidents and safety failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $250 million dollars for our Clients. Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available to the victim.

Valley Cottage, NY News – A man was injured after a work related incident Tuesday afternoon, February 17, 2026.

LOHUD.com is reporting, “Clarkstown Police said officers responded to reports of a construction accident at a work site in the area of Smith Street and Route 9W around 3:15 p.m.”

According to the report, “[o]fficers were told that a 25-year-old male construction worker was removed from a trench by coworkers after the trench walls collapsed on him and trapped him in a large amount of soil.”

WPDH.com is reporting, “Emergency medical personnel from Congers Valley Cottage Ambulance Corps and Rockland Paramedics had also responded to the scene of the accident, and immidiately began providing medical aid to the 25-year old. Medical personnel would rush the 25-year old to the hospital for further medical treatment, ultimately arriving at Montefiore Nyack Hospital. The injuries to the victim were described as being life-threatening.”

An investigation into the construction site and accident is ongoing.

Potential Legal Claims for the Work Accident Victim?

OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a construction site. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the victim will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Mesa, AZ Apartment Fire. Fire Safety Negligence?

by The Murray Law Firm

Mesa, AZ Apartment Fire: Legal Claims Available to Victims?

We have over 25 years of experience representing victims of fire safety negligence and security failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $250 million dollars for our Clients. Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available to the victims of this incident.

Mesa, AZ NEWS – An apartment fire early Saturday morning, January 24, 2026, left six people injured.

As reported by WILX.com, “[t]he Mesa Fire and Medical Department said the fire broke out shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday at an eight-unit apartment building.”

Fox10Phoenix.com is reporting, “[t]he Mesa Fire Department responded to a third-alarm fire at [local] Condos, just before 2 a.m. on Jan. 24.

According to the report, “[t]he two adults and four kids, ranging in ages from six months to 13 years old, were found with serious burns and were taken to the Valleywise Health Burn Center for specialized burn care. One of the children was airlifted from Banner Desert to the burn center. The two adults and three of the children are considered to be in critical condition. The fourth child is in serious condition.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the fire.

Potential Legal Claims for Victims of Mesa Apartment Fire?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their injuries and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the victims retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the victim’s best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

Potential Legal Claims for Utica Apartment Building Fire Victims Families?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the incident?
Were any security personnel at the property?
What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the families of the deceased victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the families of the deceased victims retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the families best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Employees and vendors have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a construction site. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of the victim will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.
