Did negligent security contribute to the shooting at a Jacksonville apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Jacksonville, Florida apartment complex Sunday afternoon, March 10, 2019, leaving two men injured.  According to Jacksonville.com, “two men were wounded in a double shooting possibly related to an armed robbery…at The Finley Apartment Homes, 9541 103rd Street.”  The news story reports, “[p]olice located one victim at the apartment complex…a second victim walked into a local hospital seeking help.”  According to ActionNewsJax.com, “both of the people shot are expected to be OK and they believe the shooters got away on foot.”

The media outlets indicate that no suspects have been identified.

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 at the apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access on to the 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 apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their 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 victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
