LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted early Sunday morning, December 1, 2019 at a Cleveland, Ohio nightclub leaving one young woman dead.

As reported by Patch.com, “[a]t 1 a.m. on Sunday, callers reported gunshots fired on E. 103rd Street.”

According to the report, “[w]hen officers arrived, they found [a] 19-year-old with gunshot wounds to her head and torso.”

The victim was taken to “University Hospitals, where she was later pronounced dead.”

WKYC.com is reporting, “a fight broke out inside [an] Entertainment Complex on Union Avenue around 1 a.m. and security ordered everyone to leave the establishment.”

Per the report, “[o]ne suspect was apparently shot in the leg while running away from the club and fired back toward the crowd, striking the teen victim.”

According to Patch.com, ” the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office identified the 19-year-old as Catera Fowler.”

One suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting.

The investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Nightclub patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property 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?
What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
Was the management aware of any suspicious activity or suspicious persons on property prior to the shooting?
Does the club have a protocol for checking guests for deadly weapons prior to entering into the establishment?

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 family of Catera Fowler 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 family Catera Fowler retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Fire Safety Negligence? Salem, VA Apartment Fire Leaves One Woman in Critical Condition.

Salem, VA Apartment Fire Leaves One Woman in Critical Condition. (Stock Photo: MurrayLegal.com)

Could the injuries from this apartment fire have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victim? Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.

Local News

A fire engulfed a Salem, Virginia apartment building Wednesday morning, November 20, 2019, leaving one woman in critical condition.

As reported by WDBJ7.com, “first responding units arrived within four minutes of a call to an apartment at 121 Rutledge Drive and found a first-floor property on fire.”

According to the report, “[a] woman in the space was found unconscious and removed within seven minutes of the firefighters arriving.”

WSET.com is reporting, “emergency lifesaving CPR began immediately and firefighters were able to get the woman’s pulse back quickly.”

The woman was taken to the hospital by a Salem Fire and EMS ambulance.

The Salem Fire Marshal’s Office “has determined that the fire was caused by improper disposal of smoking materials and said the fire was an accident,” according to the media report.

Our Legal Take

As the state fire marshal continues its 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 victim 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 victim 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.

If anyone has information to share, or if anyone is seeking information regarding this incident, please contact us at 888.842.1616.

An apartment fire in Denver, Colorado early Wednesday night, November 20, 2019, tragically claimed the life of one man.

As reported by DenverPost.com, “[f]irefighters were called about 12:45 a.m. to the two-story building at the intersection of Denver Place and Federal Boulevard to find flames and smoke shooting into the sky.”

Three people were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, according to media reports.

Investigators with Denver Fire and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are looking into the cause of the fire.

Our Legal Take
