Did negligent security contribute to this senseless Winter Haven gas station shooting?

Local News

62-year-old Melissa Thomas was reportedly shot during a violent robbery outside a Winter Haven gas station Sunday morning, December 10, 2017.

According to FOX 13, Ms. Thomas was on her way to work when she stopped at a “Circle K” gas station convenience store on Spirit Lake Road. An armed man apparently approached her and “said something about her purse” before opening fire. ABC News reports, Ms. Thomas has since undergone multiple surgeries for gunshot wounds. Her current condition has not been released.

Our Legal Take

Gas station 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 shooting may have been prevented.

Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place at the time of the shooting?

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 gas station owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Melissa Thomas may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries.

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.

Parking lot and restaurant 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 shooting may have been prevented.

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.

TripAdvisor Flags Hotels Involved in Sexual Assault Investigations

by The Murray Law Firm

https://www.legal-chronicle.com/files/2017/11/Screen-Shot-2017-11-17-at-4.47.21-PM-300x191.png

(The Daily Mail/AP)

TripAdvisor is reportedly making efforts to protect their customers through the release of new icons, which identify health, safety and discrimination concerns at hotels featured on their website. The warnings will apparently include hotels with a history of sexual assault.

The Daily Mail reports, badges “will be issued any time the company perceives a current issue as relayed by either users or the news media.” They will “remain on the site for up to three months, unless the issue persists.”

A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report recently exposed the challenge survivors of hotel sexual assaults faced in sharing their allegations with other potential guests on social media. TripAdvisor policies had apparently prevented victims from warning other hotel guests as the language violated their “family-friendly” posting guidelines. The company has since released a public apology and launched the health, safety and discrimination badges in an effort to protect customers. However, the campaign has drawn some criticism. Many are questioning the short, three month time frame and the steps hotels have to take to remove the badge, per New York Times reports.

Choosing the Right Attorney

Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.

Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!

You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:

A LAWYER “SHALL NOT” CONTACT A PROSPECTIVE CLIENT THROUGH A “LIVE TELEPHONE” OR AN “IN-PERSON” VISIT.

– RULE 7.3, ABA MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.

Contingency Fees Disclaimer: “Contingent attorneys’ fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client.”
