A deadly shooting outside an Albuquerque laundromat tragically claimed the life of Cody Fair Saturday, April 14, 2018, per KRQE reports.

The incident underscores the critical need for all parking lot and laundromat owners to provide a safe and secure premises for their patrons.

Industry experts with Coinomatic urge laundromat owners to take a proactive approach to customer and employee safety by:

  • Communicating with local law enforcement and business owners and monitoring crime mapping sites
  • Installing surveillance cameras and alarm systems
  • Keeping windows unobstructed and premises (inside and out) brightly lit
  • Implementing a credit card or smart card laundry vending system to reduce cash flow on property
  • Providing employees workplace violence training

Patron Rights and Property Owner Responsibility

Parking lot and laundromat patrons have a right to be safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment that they are visiting. By law, property owners have a duty to protect patrons from any foreseeable harm.

Laundromat owners are encouraged to implement property security precautions and preventative measures, such as those outlined above, to protect patrons and reduce property violence, injuries and deaths.

ParkingSafety-199x300The National Institute of Justice warns, parking facilities are often targets for crime as they frequently “comprise a large area with relatively low levels of activity” and inherent security challenges. As such, the NIJ urges parking lot and garage owners to incorporate crime prevention into facility design.

  • Lighting: Does the facility meet required illuminance standards, providing adequate, uniform lighting?
  • Natural Surveillance: Does the facility provide an open facade, high ceilings, and adequate lighting to allow patrons to easily observe their surroundings?
  • Stair Towers and Elevators: Are stair and elevator waiting areas open to the exterior and/or the parking areas? Are potential hiding places below stairs closed off?
  • Access Control: Does the facility employ security screening and/or fencing at points of low activity to discourage anyone from entering the facility on foot while maintaining openness and natural surveillance?
  • Signs and Graphics: Do signs and graphics (such as color coding and unique memory aids) orient patrons to move quickly in and out of the facility, making them less vulnerable to attack?
  • Panic Buttons and Emergency Phones: Are panic bars and emergency phones located in elevators, lobbies, stairs and parking areas?
  • Security Personnel: Is there a visible presence of uniformed officers? Do officers frequently patrol the facility, varying their routes and schedule?

Victims of Parking Facility Violence: Know Your Rights

Parking lot and parking garage patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a parking garage owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement additional security precautions to protect patrons and deter such crime. Should a parking facility owner fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

ParkingLotSafetySign-240x300Gas stations are often targets for criminal activity due to (frequently) late hours of operation, accessibility to major roadways, and vulnerable patrons.

OSHA warns, late-night retail businesses, such as gas stations and convenience stores, “are prone to robberies.” As such, gas station owners are urged to “reduce their risk by improving visibility and surveillance, controlling customers’ access, and limiting the availability of cash.”

Such measures could include:

  • Limiting window signs to low or high locations and keeping shelving low so that workers can see incoming customers and so that police can observe what is occurring from the outside of the store;
  • Ensuring the customer service and cash register areas are visible from outside the establishment;
  • Placing curved mirrors at hallway intersections or concealed areas;
  • Maintaining adequate lighting inside and outside the establishment;
  • Installing video surveillance equipment and closed circuit TV to increase the likelihood of identification of perpetrators;
  • Using door detectors so that workers are alerted when someone enters the store;
  • Having height markers on exit doors to help witnesses provide more accurate descriptions of assailants;
  • Installing and regularly maintaining alarm systems and other security devices, panic buttons, handheld alarms or noise devices, cellular phones and private channel radios where risk is apparent or may be anticipated;
  • Arranging for a reliable response system when an alarm is triggered;
  • Installing fences and other structures to direct the flow of customer traffic into and around the store;
  • Controlling access to the store with door entry (buzzer) systems;
  • Installing physical barriers such as bullet-resistant enclosures with pass-through windows between customers and workers; and
  • Using drop safes to limit the availability of cash to cashiers and posting signs which state that cashiers have limited access to cash. 

Victims of Gas Station Violence: Know Your Rights

Gas station patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, Georgia property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a gas station owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement additional security precautions to protect patrons and deter such crime. Additional security measures may include bright lighting, a security guard or off-duty police officer, surveillance cameras, and bulletproof pass-through windows for cash transactions. Should a gas station owner or manager fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

BouncerSunglasses-300x200Nightclub Patron Rights and Owner Responsibility

Bar and nightclub patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, nightclub owners and managers must protect their guests from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a nightclub owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement additional security precautions to protect guests and deter such crime. Additional security measures may include weapons screenings, bright parking lot lighting, security patrols, crowd management training, and surveillance cameras. Should a nightclub owner or manager fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

I am the Victim of a Nightclub Shooting. Should I Hire an Attorney that has Telephoned Me or Contacted Me Directly?

The American Bar Association Rule 7.3 states that a lawyer “shall not” contact a prospective Client through a “live telephone” or an “in-person” visit. If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.

BouncerSunglassesThe Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of nightclub security negligence and their families. More importantly, we help these victims and their families obtain the justice they deserve. The tragic common denominator behind all of these cases is that they may have been prevented with proper venue security and safety precautions.

Nightclub & Bar magazine has published “Keep Your Bar Safe with These 3 Steps,” highlighted below. We urge nightclub owners to learn from these tips and be proactive in creating a safe and secure atmosphere for their patrons.

1. Security Starts at the Front Door: Strong lead doormen are vital for maintaining a safe environment for guests. Strong in this context refers to more than physical strength. Doormen must also be mentally strong enough to refuse entry to potential troublemakers. This sounds much easier than it is in reality. Strong security staff members know how to refuse entry to troublemakers and diffuse potential altercations with people who believe they are entitled to enter your venue.

2. Actively Engage and Neutralize Threats: Strong security personnel do not wait for trouble to begin before they intervene…. Security staff are constantly scanning the environment, communicating with guests and other members of the security team, and identifying potential threats as the night is underway.

3. Work with Local Law Enforcement: Strong security staff know the local police and gang suppression teams, and work to build good relations with them. Sometimes, all it takes is a text message sent to a local police officer to get a known gang-affiliated person who the security staff cannot and should not attempt to confront removed from the premises.

ParkingLotSafetySignShopping mall patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on premises, whether shopping or walking to their car.

AAA Mid-Atlantic warns, shoppers face an increased risk of distracted drivers and parking lot crime during the busy holiday season. They have released a list of parking lot safety guidelines for drivers, pedestrians and shoppers:

  1. Stay on guard in parking lots. Be aware of your surroundings and park in well-lit areas when shopping during early morning hours and at night. When returning to your vehicle, have keys ready in hand, check under your car and in the back seat before getting in, and lock your doors as soon as you get in. Watch for loiterers and report suspicious people.
  2. See and be seen. Use your headlights when scouring parking garages for spaces, even in the daytime. Avoid parking between a pair of tall SUVs or minivans where it might be hard for you to back out of the space. If you can’t see well enough to back out safely, get help from one of your passengers.
  3. Slow down, buckle up and obey the laws. Drive the speed limit, stop at stop signs, don’t park in spaces designated for disabled persons, and don’t text and/or talk on the phone. Ensure all passengers are buckled up even if it is a short trip to another part of the parking lot, as even a low-speed collision can result in injuries.
  4. Refrain from reverse. If possible, avoid backing out of a space by either backing into it or pulling through two spaces that are open nose-to-nose.
  5. Look out for children and distracted pedestrians. It can be difficult to see small children in busy parking lots, who may make quick, unpredictable movements. Hold the hands of your children to keep them safe from traffic. Also, watch out for those focused on their smartphones.
  6. Stay on track and alert. Pedestrians should use walkways and crosswalks, if available. If walking in the traffic lanes is unavoidable, be alert for subtle cues — including exhaust or reverse lights — that signal a vehicle is about to pull out.
  7. Lock your car and hide valuables. Thieves like to window shop. Place all shopping bags and valuables in the trunk, including the GPS and its mount, and always lock your car. Remove any evidence, such as GPS suction cup marks from the vehicle’s windshield. It takes a thief just seconds to smash a window and steal your shopping loot.

Did a security failure contribute to this unconscionable Albuquerque apartment assault and robbery?

A 60-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted during an apparent robbery home invasion at the Cinnamon Tree apartment complex Wednesday afternoon, April 18, 2018.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, police are searching for the man who “tied up and raped a woman before robbing her” at the “Cinnamon Tree Apartments.” Police told KRQE the assailant first approached the victim outside her home and asked for a cigarette. “She went back inside her apartment and got it….When she went back in, he kicked the door in, forcing the chain off the door–kind of home invasion style–found some duct tape and was able to duct tape her up, and unfortunately sexually assaulted this female.”

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this unconscionable attack may have been prevented.

  • How did the assailant gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect residents at the time of the assault? 

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries and suffering.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Did a fatal security lapse contribute to this tragic St. Petersburg nightclub shooting?

Local News

An argument reportedly escalated into gunfire at The Sugar Room in St. Petersburg Monday, April 2, 2018, claiming the life 33-year-old Jermaine Long and leaving another victim injured.

According to ABC News, the shooting occurred “in the parking lot of The Sugar Room” following “an altercation inside the club,” shortly after 1:30 a.m. Tragically, Mr. Long succumbed to fatal injuries.

A Tampa Bay Tribune report reveals “officers have been dispatched 21 times to the business at 1239 Fourth St. S. since the start of 2018 to investigate complaints such as illegal parking, noise, domestic battery, criminal mischief and large crowds.” The media investigation further alleges “the building isn’t zoned to operate as a bar or nightclub.”

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.

Should the facts of this matter reveal that the property owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Laval Thomas Jr may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Did a security failure contribute to the death of a Charlotte mother?

Echeverria de Gomez was reportedly shot during a violent robbery outside the Vista Villa apartment complex Tuesday morning, April 3, 2018.

According to WCNC, the shooting occurred “at the Vista Villa apartment complex in the 6200 block of Barrington Drive around 6:15 a.m.” WSOC TV reports, the “shooting and robbery happened in the parking lot” while Ms. de Gomez was “waiting for her brother to pick her up to head to work.” Tragically, she succumbed to fatal injuries.

Ms. de Gomez’s family has apparently suffered multiple robberies in the past. WSOC TV reports,  “the apartment complex is home to many Latinos who are afraid of police and immigration and often don’t report crimes.”

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless loss of life? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the family of Echeverria de Gomez may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in North Carolina, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior crimes on the property and, if so, what additional security measures, such as gated-entry, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were implemented by the apartment complex owner following any such criminal activity? 

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Echeverria de Gomez may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her wrongful death.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
