Local News

An apartment fire in Kansas City, MO early Monday morning, July 25, 2022, tragically claimed two lives.

As reported by KSHB.com, “[e]mergency crews responded to the fire just before 4:30 a.m. on July 25 at [Apartments located at] 5056 N. Oak Trafficway. Smoke and fire was showing from the building. After around 10 minutes, crews backed out of the building due to safety, and combated the fire from the exterior.”

According to the report, “the fire was started outside of the building, and rose through all three floors.”

KMBC.com is reporting, “[o]ne of the victims in the July 25 fire has been identified as 20-year-old Aiden Ayers. His death has been ruled a homicide. The second victim has not been identified yet, and a ruling on their death has not yet come down from the medical’s examiner’s office. One other person suffered minor burns.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the 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 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 Aiden Ayers 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 Aiden Ayers and any 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.

Could the injuries to these Washington D.C. residents have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victims? Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.

Local News

Five people were hospitalized Saturday morning, January 29, 2022 after experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning at an apartment building in Washington D.C.

As reported by WTOP.com, “responders were called to an apartment unit near the intersection of 17th and K Streets for a medical emergency around 10:15 a.m. When they arrived, they found the occupants disoriented.”

According to the report “detectors on the responder’s uniforms indicated high levels of carbon monoxide.”

WUSA9.com is reporting, “[f]ive people are in the hospital after a defective furnace released “high levels” of carbon monoxide into an apartment building…Two of those people are in serious condition.”

Per the report, “[t]he apartment did not have any carbon monoxide alarms.”

The investigation is ongoing.

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.

Premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of emergency procedures and safety measures at the hotel may have contributed to this incident.

When was the last gas and utility inspection performed?
When were carbon monoxide detectors last inspected and updated?
What safety measures, such as working carbon monoxide detectors and frequent utility inspections, were implemented by the hotel owner prior to this incident?

As details of this tragedy continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the hotel owners or managers failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those guests legally on the premises. By law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect guests and visitors 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 owner or management of the hotel be found at fault, the victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their injuries. Financial recovery for such claims could be substantial.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often more 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 carbon monoxide alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and their best interests are protected.

Local News

An apartment fire in Bloomington, Illinois late early Tuesday morning, October 19, 2021, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by wandtv.com, “At 11:08 p.m. Monday, authorities responded to find smoke coming from the eaves of the structure at 603 W. Market St. Crews made multiple attempts to attack the fire and enter the building, but were hindered repeatedly due to conditions in the building.”

According to the report, “[w]ith help from an aerial apparatus and extensive exterior attack, crews were able to enter the building and, at about 2:20 a.m. Tuesday, authorities discovered the victim in his apartment. ”

CentralIllinoisProud.com is reporting, “Tyrone L. Hoy, 62, died from carbon monoxide intoxication due to inhaling smoke and soot during the fire.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the 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 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 Tyrone L. Hoy 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 Tyrone L. Hoy 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.
