Local News

Gunfire erupted at a Spokane, Washington apartment complex late Monday night, March 29, 2021, leaving one teen boy.

As reported by Spokesman.com, “[a] 15-year-old boy was shot and killed outside an apartment in Spokane Valley late Monday night. Spokane Valley Sheriff’s deputies were called to a housing complex in the 9700 block of East Sixth Avenue after reports of multiple gunshots at about 10:50 p.m.”

According to the report, “Deputies found the boy with life-threatening gunshot wounds and provided medical aid…ambulance medics arrived but the victim died at the scene shortly after.”

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.

Residents and guests of apartment complexes have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the apartment complex is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras, and security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim and others at the time of the shooting?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the victim’s family retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

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.

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.

Hotel guests and visitors have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the hotel is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
Was the hotel aware of any improper activity before the incident occurred?
What security measures, such as guarded-entry, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols were in place to deter crime and protect the victim and others at the time of the shooting?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the hotel owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its guests and visitors, the victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the victim’s family retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
