Could This Distracted Driving Accident Have Been Prevented? Our Legal Take

by The Murray Law Firm

“In 2014, 3,179 people were killed, and 431,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers, according to the NHTSA and DOT. The tragedy is that every one of these losses and injuries is completely preventable. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for our Clients, including a recent $29.25 million dollar verdict, and our mission is to help the victims these tragic and senseless accidents.

I Was Seriously Injured by a Distracted Driver. What Assistance Can an Attorney Provide?

After an accident, our Clients come in with a number of questions and concerns. Many of these relate to insurance negotiations, medical care and property damage. In some tragic circumstances, a loved one has been lost in an accident and grieving family members are uncertain of how to proceed. A dedicated, experienced personal injury firm should be able to immediately provide victims of motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents with a strategic plan to navigate the coming days, months, and years. Each case is different and should be customized to the needs of the specific victim. Your initial consultation should be free, thorough and provide you with a solid understanding of your legal options.

Should I Speak With or Hire an Attorney that Contacted Me Directly, In the Hospital, Through Social Media, or Through an Investigator?

The American Bar Association Rule 7.3 states that a lawyer “shall not” contact a prospective Client through a “live telephone” or an “in-person” visit. 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.

You Deserve Justice. We Can Help.

The Murray Law Firm has an extensive and successful record representing victims and families devastated by distracted drivers. We offer our legal assistance, if desired.

Local News

A soldier stationed at Fort Bragg was reportedly shot and injured outside his Fayetteville apartment Saturday, October 15, 2016.

According to The Fayetteville Observer, “the soldier was sitting outside his apartment on Crabapple Circle, in a neighborhood off North Reilly Road near Fort Bragg, when two men approached him and started talking.” The suspects apparently produced handguns and attempted to rob the victim once once he turned to go inside his home. The soldier was transported to Womack Army Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the leg, per media reports.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure within the community. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the apartment complex and whether this unconscionable attack may have been prevented.

How did the gunmen gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime at the time of the shooting?
October crime reports, from Spotcrime.com, reveal a number of recent assaults and burglaries in the surrounding area.

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