Local News

An apartment fire in Seattle, WA early Wednesday morning, July 10, 2024, tragically claimed one life and injured multiple others.

As reported by KIRO7.com, “[c]rews were called to the fire at the Vine Court Apartments, an affordable housing complex located at First Avenue and Vine Street, just after 2 a.m. Wednesday.”

According to the report, “the fire started in a unit on the third floor of the building, and spread to the fourth floor. The fire also went down the hallway of the third floor.”

Fox13Seattle.com is reporting, “[w]hen crews arrived, they immediately evacuated people in the building and started to extinguish the fire.” Per the report, “one person died at the scene, one person was taken to the hospital in critical condition and five others were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the fire.

Is Justice Available? 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 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 family of the deceased victim may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering. in addition, any injured victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their injuries.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of the deceased victim and any injured 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.

Chattanooga, TN News

A man lost his life after a work-related incident at a Chattanooga, TN chemical plant Thursday morning, May 30, 2024.

NewsChannel9.com is reporting, “[a] worker has died after suffering extensive burns Thursday following a chemical explosion at a plant in Tennessee. It happened at TS USA, a liquid nitride facility in downtown Chattanooga.”

Local3news.com is reporting, “[w]hen [the fire department] arrived on scene some of the employees did encounter a fire and put that fire out with some fire extinguishers, and three other people that were attempting to put the fire out also got some injuries as well.”

According to the report, a “Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development [spokesperson] confirms that an employee of TS USA, on Windtower Drive, died after being severely burned in the incident. Chattanooga Fire Department officials said on Thursday that it appeared an explosion occurred as a result of a chemical reaction.”

The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate the accident.

Is Justice Available? 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 business. The safety measures provided at the business, the malfunction of equipment, or a manufacturing failure may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented. Relevant factual and legal inquires include, but are not limited to:

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 construction 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 the families should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party civil claim against the designer or manufacturer of any malfunctioning equipment or machinery that may have been involved. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and product liability claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of the victim

should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

OUR RESULTS: NEARLY $200 MILLION IN VERDICTS AND SETTLEMENTS FOR OUR CLIENTS

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 family of the deceased victim 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 family of the deceased victim 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.
