The two-vehicle collision happened “near the intersection of Memorial and Beech [D]rives,” according to AJC.com, and the story reports that “[a] 67-year-old woman was killed and two children suffered non-life-threatening injuries.”  The news outlet identifies “Audrey Wike” as the tragic victim.

No other details have been released.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, and depending on who is deemed to be at fault in causing the accident, the family of Audrey Wike may elect to seek justice and file a civil claim for the wrongful death of their loved one.  Additionally, the young children injured in the incident may pursue legal claims for their injuries. Based upon its extensive experience and success handling these types of motor vehicle claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victims and their families should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the roadways and vehicles involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties, if any exists, will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

Barbara Delmar Killed in Life at Avery Park Apartments Shooting.

Did negligent security contribute to the tragic death of Barbara Delmar and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a College Park apartment complex Friday afternoon, February 15, 2019, leaving one woman dead according to a media report.

 Fox5Atlanta.com is reporting, “Barbara Delmar was shot and killed outside her friend’s apartment…[when] she stepped out…to smoke a cigarette.”  According to Fox5Atlanta, family members say “Delmar was hardworking, kindhearted and family-oriented…it makes no sense that someone shot and killed her.”  The news report indicates “there were some witnesses to the daylight deadly shooting” and authorities are looking for “a man with dreadlocks who they call a person of interest.”  

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.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on property?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access on to the property?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim 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 apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the Ms. Delmar’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss. 

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 Ms. Delmar’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

OUR RESULTS: OVER $100 MILLION FOR OUR CLIENTS

The Murray Law Firm has an extensive and successful record representing victims of violence and security negligence.  We have obtained over $100 Million in verdicts and settlements for our Clients, including a $29.25 million dollar verdict for a victim of an unsafe property.
