Local News

An apartment building fire in New Rochelle, NY Friday morning, June 21, 2024, tragically claimed two lives.

As reported by Lohud.com, “New Rochelle Fire Chief…said the fire broke out around 7:10 a.m. at 30 Eastchester Road.”

According to the report, “firefighters responded to multiple calls of heavy fire coming from a third-floor apartment and reports of people trapped inside. Most of the residents were able to evacuate safely, but Sandor said two people were removed from the building and confirmed dead.

LongIsland.News12.com is reporting, “crews found 47-year-old Maria Arreola and her son, 26-year-old Andrew Salomon, during a search of an apartment. Officials say first responders performed CPR on both mother and son but neither survived.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the fire.

Is Justice Available? 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.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the families of Maria Arreola and Andrew Salomon may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the families of Maria Arreola and Andrew Salomon retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the families best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

Chattanooga, TN News

A man lost his life after a work-related incident at a Chattanooga, TN chemical plant Thursday morning, May 30, 2024.

NewsChannel9.com is reporting, “[a] worker has died after suffering extensive burns Thursday following a chemical explosion at a plant in Tennessee. It happened at TS USA, a liquid nitride facility in downtown Chattanooga.”

Local3news.com is reporting, “[w]hen [the fire department] arrived on scene some of the employees did encounter a fire and put that fire out with some fire extinguishers, and three other people that were attempting to put the fire out also got some injuries as well.”

According to the report, a “Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development [spokesperson] confirms that an employee of TS USA, on Windtower Drive, died after being severely burned in the incident. Chattanooga Fire Department officials said on Thursday that it appeared an explosion occurred as a result of a chemical reaction.”

The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate the accident.

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 business, the malfunction of equipment, or a manufacturing failure may be at issue in this matter, and may be important in evaluating whether this tragic incident may have been prevented. Relevant factual and legal inquires include, but are not limited to:

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 construction 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 the victim will most likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While the families should be eligible for benefits under workers compensation laws, they may also hold a substantial third-party civil claim against the designer or manufacturer of any malfunctioning equipment or machinery that may have been involved. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and product liability claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of the victim

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

Local News

An incident at a student housing complex in Olympia, WA Monday night, Dec 11, 2023, tragically claimed one life and injured two others.

As reported by TheOlympian.com, “[o]ne student has died and two other students were hospitalized by suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at [a college] in Olympia Monday night.”

According to the report, “[i]t was about 8 p.m. Monday when a student residence manager couldn’t reach those inside the modular housing. An Evergreen police officer later broke down a door to the housing and attempted to revive the students, but in the process was poisoned by carbon monoxide and taken to an area hospital.”

WAFF.com is reporting, “[t]he officer and two of the students inside the unit were taken to the hospital. A third student died. He was identified as 21-year-old Jonathan Rodriguez by the Thurston County coroner. ”

The report indicates that “[i]nvestigators are focusing on a carbon monoxide alarm that went off earlier in the day, bringing a contractor out to the unit where Rodriguez died.” According to the article, a “spokesperson [for the school] said every living unit on [the school campus] has smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.” The news story, however, does not provide information on the warnings and precautions, if any, that were given to residents following the alarm.

Inspectors continue to investigate the cause.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of life safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

What life safety measures, such as working detectors, emergency exits, and a resident warning plan, were in place and operational at the time of the incident?
When was the last inspection performed on the property?
Were any life safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate life safety measures present prior to this incident?
After learning of any prior warnings, did the property owner take measures to properly notify and war existing residents?

As details of this incident continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner or management company of a residential complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the owner or manager of the housing unit be found at fault, the family of Jonathan Rodriguez may elect to hold the at adult parties civilly liable for their loss and suffering. In addition, any injured victims may elect to pursue individual civil claims for their injuries.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Jonathan Rodriguez retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty alarms or a poor evacuation and warning plan, is preserved and the families best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.
