Bar patrons 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?
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?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shooting?
Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?
Does the property owner or management have a protocol to check guests for deadly weapons prior to entering the establishment?

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 Julia Ann Shields 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.

Did negligent security contribute to this shooting and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family? Our firm represents victims of security failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $200 million dollars for our Clients. Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.

Gunfire erupted early Friday morning, April 26, 2024 at a Minneapolis, MN gas station leaving one teen dead.

As reported by KARE11.com, “[p]olice said squads were dispatched to the 2600 block of University Ave. NE around 3 a.m. Friday, following reports of shots fired. Arriving officers found the teen lying outside an SUV suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds.”

According to the report, “[officers] performed medical aid until paramedics arrived and transported the boy to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he died three hours later.”

KSTP.com is reporting, “[o]n Saturday morning, officials with the Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified the boy as Fa’him Laron Miller, of St. Paul.”

The shooting investigation is ongoing.

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.

Gas Station patrons 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?
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?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to 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 Fa’him Laron Miller 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 Fa’him Laron Miller retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Santos Galicia-Hernandez: Safety Negligence? Tragically Loses Life in Slaton, TX Cotton Processing Plant Industrial Accident. (WSAZ.com)

Was safety negligence or an equipment malfunction a factor in this loss of life and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family? Our firm represents victims of safety failures across the United States, and we have recovered nearly $200 million dollars for our Clients. Read Our Legal Take below to find out what legal options are available.

Slaton, TX News

A man lost his life after a work-related incident at a Slaton, TX cotton processing plant Thursday morning, April 25, 2024.

WSAZ.com is reporting, “[a]uthorities in Texas say they are investigating an industrial accident at a cotton processing plant where a man was killed Thursday morning…emergency crews were called to the [facility] regarding a fatal incident at about 9:15 a.m.”

WLBT.com is reporting, “Santos Galicia-Hernandez, 62, was crushed by cotton bales and died. The 62-year-old was working between two 1,500-pound stacks of cotton when a lift operator compressed the row, unaware the worker was between the stacks. Galicia-Hernandez was pronounced dead at the scene.”

The U.S. Occupation Safety & Health Administration will investigate the accident.

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.

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