Legal Options Available to Family of Alex Benson?

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.

Apartment complex residents 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 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 Alex Benson 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 Alex Benson retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Successful Legal Outcomes in Similar Cases.

The Murray Law Firm has a long history of representing victims of violence and security negligence, and we offer legal analysis to victims and potential Clients. We have obtained nearly $250 Million in verdicts and settlements for our Clients, including:

Man Dies After Work Accident at Wallingford, CT Car Dealership. (Stock Photo: MurrayLegal.com)

Wallingford, CT News – A man lost his life after a work related incident Friday afternoon, January 10, 2025.

WTNH.com is reporting, “[t]he incident happened around 2:30 p.m. at [an auto] dealership on South Orchard Street.”

According to the report, “[w]hen emergency crews arrived, police said medics used a Locas machine for chest compressions on the employee.”

CTinsider.com is reporting, “[p]olice said it appears that the employee used the forklift to remove a container from the truck. While traveling up the driveway of the dealership, they said, he exited the forklift to look at something and it began to roll back down the slanted driveway. Police said the man ran and attempted to stop the forklift with his hands and was trapped between the forklift and truck. They said he was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.”

Potential Legal Claims for the Family of the Victim?

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 victim 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 victim should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Fox43.com is reporting, “Clinton Devon Martin, 35, from Robesonia, was evaluated at the scene and first responders reportedly found no signs of life. Workers reportedly found Martin pinned under a skid loader. The skid loader’s engine was turned on and running at the time but workers were able to use equipment to lift the machine from the male victim.

According to the report, “[i]t is believed that the 35-year-old was working under the elevated arms of the skid loader when a hydraulic line burst, causing the skid loader’s arms to drop and pin the worker.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Potential Legal Claims for the Family of Clinton Devon Martin?

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 Clinton Devon Martin 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 Clinton Devon Martin 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.

Bar 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 Phillip Dewayne Thomas 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 Phillip Dewayne Thomas retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
