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.

Gas station 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 list of 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?
Were any security personnel at the property?
Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

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 ZyKerien Bickham 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 of ZyKerien Bickham retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

The investigation is ongoing.

Potential Legal Claims for the Family of Brandon Gipson?

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.

Employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a business. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Brandon Gipson will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Brandon Gipson should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

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.

Employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises of a business. The safety measures provided at the site or the malfunction of equipment may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented.

List of factual and legal inquires:

What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
Did any such safety features fail?
Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?

Under workers’ compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Daniel Vakulick will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While they should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party negligence claim. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and negligence claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of Daniel Vakulick should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

What Legal Options are Available for John Love Louima’s Family?

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.

Nightclub visitors and guests 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 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?
Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
Were the security personnel at the property properly trained and licensed?
What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

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 John Love Louima may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss. In addition, any injured victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their 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 family of John Love Louima and any injured victims retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
