KHOU News reports, the fatal shooting occurred “just before 9 p.m. at the Mission Falls apartments in the 10400 block of Greens Crossing Boulevard.” According to The Houston Chronicle, a mother and her two young daughters were unloading groceries when “three men drove up in a sedan.” The assailants apparently opened fire during the course of the robbery.

Artist Thomas, Jr. was reportedly shot and injured inside an Albany apartment home Tuesday night, November 15, 2016.

According to WALB News, “someone in a white Cadillac fired shots into an apartment in the 1500 block [of] Avalon Avenue just after 9 p.m.” The young victim was apparently sitting in the living room when gunfire erupted. He was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm.

Police are still searching for suspects and a motive.

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 to those at the apartment complex and whether this unconscionable and tragic shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunman and vehicle gain entry to the apartment complex? What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? If so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to deter crime?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Based upon its long, extensive, and successful experience in handling negligent security cases against property owners in the State of Georgia, 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.

200389576-001Parking 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, parking lot owners must protect their patrons from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a parking lot owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a duty to implement additional security precautions, such as bright lighting, security patrols and surveillance cameras, to protect patrons from such crime. Should a parking lot owner or manager fail in this responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or deaths which occur as a consequence.

I am the Victim of a Parking Lot Assault. 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.

Can I Afford an Attorney?

Our Clients frequently come in concerned that they won’t be able to afford legal help. We believe everyone has a right to exceptional legal service. We represent our Clients on a contingency agreement, which generally means that no fees or payments are owed until and unless we recover. This means our interests are always tied to that of our Clients. Be sure to ask any potential personal injury attorney about their fee schedule and whether they represent Clientele on a contingency basis before signing a contract.

You Deserve Justice. We Can Help.

The Murray Law Firm has an extensive and successful record representing victims and families of negligent security in parking lots and parking garages. We have recovered millions of dollars for our Clients, and we offer our legal assistance, if desired. Anyone seeking further information or legal representation is encouraged to contact us via e-mail (click here) or by telephone at 888.842.1616.

A soldier stationed at Fort Bragg was reportedly shot and injured outside his Fayetteville apartment Saturday, October 15, 2016.

According to The Fayetteville Observer, “the soldier was sitting outside his apartment on Crabapple Circle, in a neighborhood off North Reilly Road near Fort Bragg, when two men approached him and started talking.” The suspects apparently produced handguns and attempted to rob the victim once once he turned to go inside his home. The soldier was transported to Womack Army Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the leg, per media reports.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure within the community. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the apartment complex and whether this unconscionable attack may have been prevented.

  • October 2016 Crime Map (spotcrime.com)

    How did the gunmen gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime at the time of the shooting?

  • October crime reports, from Spotcrime.com, reveal a number of recent assaults and burglaries in the surrounding area. Was the apartment complex aware of any prior criminal activity on or near the property?  If so, were additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to protect residents?

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