Legal Options Available to Family of Brandon Hanson?

OUR LEGAL TAKE

State prison inmates and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security and protection provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this stabbing 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?
• Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
• What protocol was in place to deter such incident and protect the victim at the time of the stabbing?

Prisons and jails 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 those on the property, the family of Brandon Hanson 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 Brandon Hanson retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
