Robert Fristoe Fatally Injured in Early-Morning Savannah Bicycle Accident (WTOC 11)

Savannah News

Savannah Police’s Traffic Investigation Unit is investigating an early morning crash January 28, 2019, that resulted in the death of a bicyclist. The deceased has been identified as Robert Fristoe, 63, of Savannah, Savannah Morning News is reporting.

Savannah police told WTOC 11 “around 4:40 a.m., officers responded to Oglethorpe Avenue at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and discovered the bicyclist suffering from life-threatening injuries. He was transported to Memorial where he died as a result of his injuries.”

Savannah Police Department officials told WTOC 11 “a Dodge Ram 2500 was making a left turn at the same time the bicyclist entered the intersection.  The truck struck the bicyclist.”

It is unclear whether the driver will be facing charges.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this incident continue to develop, and if the motor vehicle driver is found to be at fault, Robert Fristoe’s family may elect to file civil claims for his wrongful death.

Could this Columbus apartment shooting have been prevented are justice and compensation available to the victim?

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA NEWS

Security measures are under scrutiny following a Columbus apartment complex shooting January 25, 2019.

Columbus police told WRBL officers “responded to the scene at Warren Williams Homes at 1100 12th Street,” shortly before 11:30. The victim’s identity and current condition have not been released.

The apartment complex was the location of prior shooting investigations in May 2016, April 2018, August 2018, and September 2018, per Ledger-Enquirer, WRBL and WTVM reports.

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

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 additional security measures, such as gated entry, fencing, bright lighting, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were implemented by the apartment complex owner following media reports of prior violence on or near 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 apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for 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.
