Could the senseless shooting of a pregnant Memphis woman have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Ms. Jackson and her newborn son?

Local News

Three weeks after giving birth to a healthy son, Memphis mother Alexes Jackson speaks out on the violent apartment home invasion she survived while pregnant.

According to FOX 13, an assailant broke into Ms. Jackson’s home “at the Legacy at the Parkway” apartment complex, “took her cellphone, shot her, and left in a white Mercedes vehicle.”

Ms. Jackson told police she “started knocking on doors and screaming for help, but nobody answered,” per FOX 13 reports. “She ran a mile to a friend’s apartment in the 3100 block of Ridgeway, which is where she called 911.”

The harrowing ordeal raises grave questions over security measures at the complex.

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 on the property and whether this unconscionable shooting may have been prevented.

What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Ms. Jackson at the time of the shooting?
Where was apartment security and management as the pregnant victim ran through the complex screaming for help?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Alexes Jackson may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries and any injuries suffered by her infant son.

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.

Could this tragic Orlando sports bar shooting have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Peralta’s family?

Local News

Security measures are in question after 24-year-old Adrian Peralta was shot and killed “at the Happy Place Sports Bar” Monday morning, October 22, 2018, according to The Orlando Sentinel. The tragedy marks “the third shooting in four months at the bar, which has been the source of dozens of calls to law enforcement this year.”

A July shooting “killed one man and injured four others including a security guard outside the bar,” WFTV 9 reports. In September, “an innocent bystander was shot after a fight between a security guard and another person in the parking lot.”

Our Legal Take

Bar patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

What additional security measures, such as weapons screenings, bag searches, monitored surveillance cameras, and off-duty police, were implemented by the bar owner to deter crime and protect patrons following media reports of prior violence on property?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the sports bar owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Adrian Peralta’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his wrongful death.

Can Victims of Mall Violence Seek Justice, Compensation?

by The Murray Law Firm

Escalators-258x300 Gunfire erupted in a crowded Springfield mall parking lot Saturday afternoon, October 20, 2018, leaving families terrified. Police told ABC 6, “it all started when two groups got into a fight inside the mall. When the fight moved outside, someone opened fire….Moments after the gunfire…children in their Halloween costumes quickly made their way through the mall with their parents; all had their hands up at the order of police.” The horrific incident raises grave questions over mall security around the country.

Shopping mall patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on premises, whether shopping or walking to their car. A Time Magazine investigation urges shopping mall owners to reduce crime by making security proactive, rather than reactive. Implementing mall parking lots and garages with choke points, license plate readers, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and security guards may help to reduce crime outside the mall. Inside, overt security guards help to deter crime, while plain-clothes security teams and surveillance cameras monitor suspicious patron behavior.

Shopping Mall Patron Rights

Shopping mall owners have a responsibility to protect patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should they fail in this duty, victims may elect to seek justice and pursue a legal claim for any injuries, sexual assaults or wrongful deaths, which occur as a consequence.

Halloween-themed amusement parks and haunted house attractions can pose serious risks to patrons, given frequently low lighting levels, short-term staffing, and frightened patrons. Although these attractions are meant to spook guests, owners have a duty to provide patrons with a safe and secure premises. Safety measures may include weapons screenings, proper staff training and background checks, clearly marked exits, smoke detectors, and crowd control procedures. Should property owners fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries, assaults or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.

According to CBS Baltimore, a man was stabbed while attending “Nashville Nightmare” with a group of friends Friday, October 12, 2018.

In October 2017, The Los Angeles Times reports, “chaos erupted…when about 15 to 20 teens began snatching cellphones and other belongings from patrons at California’s Great America Halloween Haunt.”

Victims of Halloween Amusement Park Accidents or Violence: Know Your Rights

Halloween amusement park patrons have a right to be safe and secure while enjoying the property. By law, amusement park owners have a duty to protect patrons from any foreseeable harm. This responsibility is particularly critical when overseeing the safety of families. Should an amusement park property owner fail to implement proper security precautions, safety training, or equipment inspections, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or deaths which occur as a consequence.
