Carroll County News

A pedestrian accident claimed the life of a man Tuesday morning, May 7, 2019. According to AJC.com, “[a] man walking in a right lane was struck just before 6 a.m. by a Nissan Versa as the car was merging onto the interstate from the Ga. 61 entrance ramp…[t]he impact catapulted the pedestrian into the center lane.”  According to the report, a Georgia State Patrol spokesperson said “it is very likely that the pedestrian was struck by a number of unknown vehicles traveling westbound as well…[h]owever, no other vehicles stopped or returned to the scene.”

The interstate was closed while troopers investigated, no word on any charges being filed according to the media report.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, the victim’s family may elect to file civil claims for their loss.  Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian accident cases, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim’s family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the vehicles and roadways involved and a review of traffic surveillance footage will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

Did negligent security contribute to the shooting at a Warner Robins apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to Melando Cortez Moore?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Warner Robins, Georgia apartment complex Monday night, May 6, 2019, leaving one man injured.  According to 41NBC.com, “officers responded to a shots-fired call at Tanglewood Apartments. When officers arrived, they found [the victim] unresponsive in the parking lot with a gunshot wound.”  13WMAZ.com is reporting “43-year-old Melando Cortez Moore suffered from a gunshot wound and is still in critical condition at the Medical Center, Navicent Health in Macon.”  The news story reports that Mr. Moore is a resident at the apartment complex.

The investigation remains open according to media reports.

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 security provided at the apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Moore at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access on to the property?

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 security to protect those on its premises, Melando Cortez Moore may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his 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 Mr. Moore retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Two people were shot at a Riverdale, Georgia hotel early Monday morning, May 6, 2019.  According to AJC.com, “Riverdale police have blocked off the parking lot at the Hometown Suites with crime scene tape and there are multiple evidence markers on the ground. The hotel is located off Ga. 85 south of Garden Walk Boulevard.”  The news story reports “one person is in critical condition and the other is stable.”

Investigators are still working to determine what happened according to the media report.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

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

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
  • Were there any reports of suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
  • What security measures, such as guarded-entry, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols, 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 motel owner 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.
