Legal Options Available to Jakari Doctor’s Family?

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 Jakari Doctor may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss. In addition, any injured victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their injuries.

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 Jakari Doctor and any injured victims retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available to the family of the construction worker who life was lost in the Wessington accident.

Wessington, SD NEWS – A vehicle accident at a Wessington, SD highway construction site Tuesday afternoon, September 17, 2024, left one construction worker dead.

As reported by DakotaNewsNow.com, “[a] construction worker flagging traffic near Wessington was killed Tuesday when a truck and a pickup collided. The incident happened just before 1 p.m. on Highway 14 two miles east of Wessington.”

MitchellRepublic.com is reporting, “preliminary crash information indicates the driver of a 2022 Dodge Ram, a 27-year-old male, was traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 14 near mile marker 319 and entered a construction zone. A construction worker was on scene directing westbound traffic to slow down and stop.”

According to the report, “[t]he driver of the Dodge had stopped as directed. As the driver of a 2023 International MV607, a 47-year-old male, traveling the same direction approached, he collided with the Dodge, which then struck the flagger. The construction worker, a 44-year-old female, sustained fatal injuries.”

The investigation is ongoing with The South Dakota Highway Patrol.

Potential Legal Claims for the Family of Construction Worker Lost in Wessington Accident?

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 the details of this accident continue to develop, and depending on a finding of fault, the family of the construction worker may elect to file civil claims seeking substantial compensation for their loss. The Murray Law Firm has had extensive and successful experience representing victims of motor vehicle claims, and the legal team at the firm suggests that the family of the construction worker should retain a law firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation and the preservation of any and all evidence. Photographs of the roadways and vehicles involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties, if any exists, will need to be performed immediately before this evidence is damaged or destroyed.

In addition to a potential claim against the at fault driver, under Workers’ Compensation laws our legal team suggests that the family of the construction worker will likely be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the family of the construction worker should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Maria Leal Loses Life in Portage, IN Apartment Fire. Fire Safety Negligence?

by The Murray Law Firm

Maria Leal Portage, IN: Fire Tragically Claims Life.

We have over 25 years of experience representing victims of fire safety negligence and security failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $250 million dollars for our Clients. Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available to Maria Leal’s family.

Portage, IN NEWS – An apartment fire in Portage, IN early Tuesday morning, September 17, 2024, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by CBSnews.com, “[a]t 12:10 a.m. Tuesday, a ground-floor unit was on fire in a building in [local apartments] on Willowdale Court in Portage. The police and fire departments were called to the scene, and officers helped evacuate the building that was on fire—as well as the one next door.”

According to the report, “[f]irefighters put out the fire, and rescued a resident who was trapped on a second-floor balcony.” Per the report, “[o]nce the fire was out, a woman was found in the ground-floor unit where the blaze is believed to have started.

According to CBSnews.com, “[s]he was rushed to a nearby hospital, but it was too late, and she died of injuries that it is believed she suffered in the fire…[t]he 87-year-old woman who was killed in the fire was identified as Maria Leal.”

ABC7Chicago.com is reporting, “a K-9 detected flammable liquids at the scene, and a suspect allegedly made threats to start the fire.”

Fire inspectors continue to investigate the cause of the fire.

Potential Legal Claims for Family of Maria Leal?

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 security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the incident?
Were any security personnel at the property?
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 family of Maria Leal 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 family of Maria Leal 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 family’s 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.

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?
