Could this Atlanta gas station shooting have been prevented, and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Clay’s family?

Gunfire erupted “at [a]…Gas Station on Cleveland Avenue Saturday afternoon,” September 15, 2018, according to 11 Alive. Responding officers discovered Mr. Clay suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital, where he tragically succumbed to fatal injuries.

Atlanta police told the AJC they are now searching for two persons of interest.

Was negligent security a factor in this senseless loss of life? Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the Mr. Clay’s family may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Gas station patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as clear windows, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Clay at the time of the shooting?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the gas station owner failed to provide adequate security, Brodis Clay’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of unsafe properties in Georgia, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict in Georgia.

Cobb County Police are reportedly investigating a recent string of early morning break-ins at several gas stations along South Cobb Drive. A FOX 5 investigation questions what gas station owners are doing to protect patrons and staff during this alarming crime spree:

“With thieves preying on business owners and customers at gas stations across the metro area, many are left wondering what more can be done to increase security.“

Gas stations are often targets for criminal activity due to (frequently) late hours of operation, accessibility to major roadways, and vulnerable patrons. The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) warns, “the unique setting allows thieves to catch their victims by complete surprise….But these thefts can be easily prevented if the appropriate precautions are taken.”

Given these risks, gas station owners and managers must take steps to protect patrons and deter any foreseeable crime.

Gas Station Owners and Managers: Safety Checklist

  • Has there been prior criminal activity on or near property? If so, what additional security measures could be implemented to reduce such crime on property in the future?
  • Are all security features, such as lighting, fencing and surveillance cameras, in place and working?
  • Is the gas station properly staffed with enough employees to both assist patrons and monitor the property?
  • Is a security guard or off-duty police officer visibly stationed on the premises?
  • Does the gas station provide bright lighting at all service areas?
  • Are the gas pumps, air pressure tanks, and other service areas clearly visible to gas station employees?
  • Do employees utilize a bulletproof pass-through window for late-night cash transactions?

Gas stations are often targets for criminal activity due to (frequently) late hours of operation, accessibility to major roadways, and vulnerable patrons.

One South Fulton Shell gas station is attempting to reduce crime and protect patrons by implementing Gas Valet, a full service experience controlled by a mobile app. The station implemented the valet service after a “200 percent increase in slide crimes.” CBS 46 reports:

“Owners at the Shell gas station on Cascade Road have decided to bring the age-old concept of full-service back, but with a twist. Consumers can download the station’s app and create a profile. You then choose your attendant, the type of fuel you’d like and the amount you need. The purchase is registered and an attendant comes out and pumps gas without the consumer even opening their car door. Not only does the app keep you safe inside your vehicle, it also protects consumers from skimming crimes, because you never have to swipe your credit card.”

Gas station patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, Georgia property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should property owners fail this responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or deaths which occur as a consequence.
