Three teenagers were shot and injured “at Camp Creek Marketplace in southwest Atlanta Saturday night,” January 19, 2019, according to WSB-TV 2.

Atlanta police told The AJC, three boys, ages 14 to 15, were struck when an argument escalated into gunfire in the shopping center parking lot “at the corner of I-285 and Camp Creek Parkway.”

In an October 2017 CBS 46 investigation, shoppers reported “crime increasing at Camp Creek Marketplace.” The continued incidents of crime raise grave questions over security measures on property.

Was negligent security a factor in this shopping center parking lot shooting? Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victims may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Shopping center patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided in the shopping center parking lot and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as bright lighting, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security and police patrols, were implemented by the shopping center owner following media reports of prior criminal activity on property?

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 shopping center owners failed to provide adequate security, the young victims and their families may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries.

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.
