Did negligent security contribute to the shooting and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

WARNER ROBINS NEWS

Gunfire erupted Thursday evening, February 14, 2019 outside a Warner Robins convenience store leaving two victims shot and injured, according to media reports.

According to 41NBC.com, “[t]he shooting happened around 7:30 Thursday evening at the El Barrio Food Market in the Red Fox Run trailer park in Warner Robins.”  Authorities arrived at the scene and found that two men had been shot. “One was taken to the Medical Center and the other was taken to the Houston Medical Center,” reports 13WMAZ.com.  The news outlet indicates “[b]oth underwent surgery and their conditions are unknown.”  Two individuals were arrested, a 16-year-old female and an 18-year-old male, and “each [were] charged with three counts of aggravated assault” according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Convenience store and business patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises.  Questions arise as to the level of security provided on the property, and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • Was there any altercation outside the property before the shooting?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, monitored surveillance cameras, clear windows, and visible security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the property owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families in the Atlanta area, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Choosing the Right Attorney

Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.

Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!

You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:

ABA Center for Professional ResponsibilityA LAWYER “SHALL NOT” CONTACT A PROSPECTIVE CLIENT THROUGH A “LIVE TELEPHONE” OR AN “IN-PERSON” VISIT.

– RULE 7.3, ABA MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
