Could the death from a shooting at an Atlanta restaurant and lounge have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the family of John David Price II?

Local News

Gunfire rang out at an Atlanta, Georgia restaurant and Lounge early Saturday morning, May 25, 2019, leaving one man dead and 2 others injured.  According to WSBtv.com, “[t]he shooting happened Saturday at the Atlantis Restaurant and Lounge off Piedmont Circle Northeast as the lounge was starting to close.”  11Alive.com is reporting, “a male got into a dispute with lounge staffers over the price of admission. At some point, the male pulled out a handgun and began shooting.”  Two other people were shot and treated for injuries according to the report.  The deceased male victim was an employee and identified as “John David Price II, 42,” according to WSBtv.com

Police continue to search for the suspect according to the media reports.

Our Legal Take

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

  • Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
  • Were security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras, security personnel, and security patrol in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
  • Does the nightclub have a protocol to check guests for deadly weapons prior to entering the establishment?

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 owners failed to provide adequate security to protect those on the premises, the family of John David Price II may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.  Additionally, any other injured 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, 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 family of John David Price II and any other victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Shooting range patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of safety procedures provided at the shooting range and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • Were rules and regulations at the shooting range being strictly inforced?
  • Have there been prior accidental incidents on the property?
  • Were appropriate range personnel supervising the range during shooting activity?

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 shooting range owner failed to provide adequate safety supervision to protect those on its premises, the family of John Salvati may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss. 

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling safety negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, 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 safety case, it is imperative that the family of John Salvati retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Did deferred maintenance contribute to the injuries at an Atlanta apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

LOCAL NEWS

A mother and her daughter were injured at an Atlanta, Georgia apartment complex Thursday afternoon, May 23, 2019.  According to WSBtv.com the stairwell collapse “happened at an apartment complex on Parkway Drive in northeast Atlanta.”  The news story reports “the mother and her 4-year-old child were on the second-story landing of the staircase when it caved in, sending them crashing to the ground below.”  According to AJC.com the mother “suffered injuries to her left arm, back and torso, but cradled her daughter during the fall, protecting her.”  Both the mother and child were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where the mother underwent surgery on her arm, according to AJC.com

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of property maintenance provided at the apartment complex and whether this incident may have been prevented.

  • Did the apartment complex owner know of any unsafe conditions on the property?
  • Were any recent inspections done on the stairwell?
  • Were residents informed of any unsafe conditions?

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 apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate maintenance and fix any unsafe conditions 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 personal injury claims on behalf of victims and their families, 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 personal injury case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
