LOCAL NEWS

The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.

No suspects have been identified, the investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

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:

What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property, and were any security measures added after any prior incidents?
Was the complex aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shootings?

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 apartment complex owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for his injuries.

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 retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect his interests.

Elko News

A motor vehicle accident involving a bus and a tractor-trailer left two people dead and multiple others injured Saturday morning, August 24, 2019.

As reported by ElkoDaily.com, “[a] truck hauling ore struck a bus carrying [mining company]…employees north of Carlin, causing two fatalities and multiple injuries.”

The collision happened shortly after 6 a.m. on State Route 766 about six miles north of Carlin.

14 passengers on the bus were cared for at Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital and six were sent for treatment to Reno and Salt Lake City.

According to the report, one passenger on the bus, “Rocky Witt,…was fatally injured in the accident.”

The driver of the tractor-trailer was also fatally injured in the accident.

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.

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, the family of Rocky Witt may elect to seek justice and file a civil claim for their loss. The Murray Law Firm has had extensive and successful experience representing victims of motor vehicle claims, and the legal team at the firm suggests that Rocky Witt’s family should retain a law firm without delay to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation and the preservation of any and all evidence. Photographs of the roadways and vehicles involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties, if any exists, will need to be performed immediately before this evidence is damaged or destroyed. Also, under Workers’ Compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Rocky Witt will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. In addition, any other victims may elect to file claim for their injuries.

Preventable Tragedy? Bristol at Sunset Apartments Fire Leaves Two People Dead, One Injured.

by The Murray Law Firm

The Bristol at Sunset Apartments Fire Leaves Two People Dead, One Injured. (ReviewJournal.com)

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

Local News

A fire engulfed a Henderson, Nevada apartment building early Saturday morning, August 24, 2019, leaving two people dead and another person injured.

As reported by 8NewsNow.com, “[t]he Henderson Fire Department responded at about 1:20 a.m….to an apartment unit on fire at 2001 Ramrod Ave., near East Sunset Road and Mountain Vista Street.”

According to ReviewJournal.com, “[t]wo people died and another was injured in the fire at The Bristol at Sunset apartments.”

A man and a woman were taken to Henderson Hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.

Another man was taken to University Medical Center and treated for smoke inhalation.

Three dogs also died in the fire.

Residents of the complex told the Review-Journal that “they don’t have sprinklers in their units” and one resident told the Review-Journal that “she heard no alarms early Saturday.”

The fire remains under investigation.

Our Legal Take

As the fire department 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 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 fires or safety inspections?

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 families of the victims who perished may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss. In addition, any injured victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their injuries. Financial recovery for such a claim could be substantial.

It is crucial that the victims and the families of those who perished 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 their 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.
