Evans, GA News

A man lost his life after an accident at a Newnan, GA tire shop Tuesday morning, April 16, 2024.

Times-Herald.com is reporting, “the incident occurred Tuesday morning at [a tire shop] on Temple Avenue.”

AtlantaNewsFirst.com is reporting, “Timothy Welling was apparently working on [an] RV at [the tire shop]. The coroner’s office said he was trying to take off a wheel and the RV slid off the air jack and pinned him underneath.”  Mr. Welling was, sadly, unable o survive his injuries.

The incident remains under investigation.

Is Justice Available? Our Legal Take

Tire shop employees, vendors and guests have a right to safety and security while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the safety measures provided both at the shop and by the manufacturer of the machinery involved, and whether this tragic incident may have been prevented. Relevant factual and legal inquires include, but are not limited to:

  • What safety features were in place to protect Mr. Welling?
  • Did any such safety features fail?
  • Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
  • Was the manufacturer or property owner aware of potential safety risks to employees or contractors?
  • Were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any machinery involved prior to the incident?

Under Workers’ Compensation laws, our legal team suggests that the family of Timothy Welling may be entitled to significant compensation as a result of this accident. While Timothy Welling’s family 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 the machinery and equipment involved in the incident. Based on its history and experience in representing families in workers compensation and product liability claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that Timothy Welling’s family should retain legal counsel without delay so as to ensure that all evidence connected to the incident is preserved.

Residents and guests of apartment complexes have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the complex 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 complex owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the family of the victim 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 the victim retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
