Local News

A fire at a SeaTac, Washington apartment complex late Saturday night, July 10, 2021, caused injuries to four people.

As reported by King5.com, “[t]he fire started around 11:25 p.m. at the Hanover Apartments in the 3100 block of S. 192nd Street.”

SeattleTimes.com is reporting, “Four people were injured in the blaze, two critically and two seriously…An infant was among the injured.”

According to the report, Harborview Medical Center spokesperson said “three of the injured people were treated there: an infant who has been discharged, an adult female who is in satisfactory condition and an adult male who was upgraded overnight from critical to serious condition. The condition of the fourth victim was not known Monday.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Our Legal Take

As fire authorities continues 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 the injuries in 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. Financial recovery for such a claim 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 fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the victims 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.

Silverton, OR Seed Cleaning Facility Fire Claims Life of One Worker. (KPTV.com)

Was safety negligence or an equipment malfunction a factor in this loss of life and could it have been prevented? Read ‘Our Legal Take’ below to find out if the victim’s family may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation.

Portland News

A worker was killed in a fire at a seed cleaning facility in Silverton on Tuesday morning.

As reported by KOIN.com, “Silverton Fire District firefighters responded to the reported explosion and fire around 9 a.m. and saw heavy, dark smoke and flames from several miles away.”

KTVZ.com is reporting, “[i]nitial reports indicated three people might be trapped on the structure’s second floor, prompting a three-alarm fire call and request for more fire engines from nearby communities.”

According to the report, “[w]ith flames and smoke engulfing the plant’s second floor, firefighters aggressively attacked the blaze, but found a missing person had died inside. Another worker was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”

KPTV.com is reporting, “[i]nvestigators said it is suspected that a dust explosion occurred, which spread fire through the second story of the structure.”

Read Our Legal Take below to learn whether the victim’s family may have an avenue to justice.

Our Legal Take

Employees, vendors and guests of businesses, plants, and factories have a right to safety and security while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the safety measures provided at the facility, and whether this tragic incident may have been prevented. Relevant factual and legal inquires include, but are not limited to:

What safety features were in place to protect the victim?
Did any such safety features fail?
Did the property owner engage in regular safety inspections?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
Was the property owner aware of potential safety risks to employees?

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 victim’s family 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 faulty equipment. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and product liability claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim’s family should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

OUR RESULTS: OVER $100 MILLION IN VERDICTS AND SETTLEMENTS

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for individuals who have been hurt, or families whose loved ones have been lost, in a work accidents and as a consequence of an unsafe property.

Local News

Update: According to ReviewJournal.com, “[t]he Clark County coroner’s office has identified the woman who died after a central Las Vegas apartment fire last week. She was 61-year-old Lynne Cassella, of Las Vegas.”

An apartment fire in Las Vegas, Nevada Tuesday morning, March 9, 2021, tragically claimed the life of one person and injured multiple others.

As reported by ReviewJournal.com, “[t]he fire was reported just after 10:51 a.m. at the Twain Estates Apartments at 3651 Arville…it started in a first-floor unit and extended to the second floor.”

LasVegasSun.com is reporting, “[t]he incident was upgraded to a two-alarm fire when calls came in about people trapped inside.

According to the report, “[i]t wasn’t clear where the person who died was located. Three other people were being treated at a hospital with unspecified injuries…[t]he status of the fourth injured person was unknown.”

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 Lynne Cassella 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 Lynne Cassella 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 family’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.
