Could This Decatur Hotel Assault Have Been Prevented and Is Justice Available to the Family?

A 35-year-old man was reportedly beaten to death outside the United Inn and Suites Thursday morning, April 19, 2018.

According to the AJC, “officers responded to a call about a fight at the United Inn and Suites on Memorial Drive,” around 6:00 a.m. The victim was apparently discovered unconscious outside a room. He was transported to Grady Memorial, where he tragically succumbed to fatal injuries. Police are apparently still searching for a suspect who fled the scene on a MARTA bus, per WBTV reports.

Was negligent security on the part of the hotel owner or manager a factor in this tragic assault and could this incident have been prevented?  Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim’s family may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Hotel 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 hotel and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place to protect guests and deter crime at the time of the attack?

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 hotel owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of unsafe properties in Georgia, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict in Georgia.

The city of Brookhaven seeks to reduce nightclub and bar crime by pushing back club hours following results of a 2017 public safety study.

CBS 46 reports, “between January and July 2017 [Brookhaven police] received more than 880 calls from their 10 area clubs and bars.” Major Brandon Gurley reportedly told media the numerous calls to these businesses have hindered the department’s ability to “proactively patrol” residential neighborhoods. As such, effective April 10th, bars and nightclubs “that once served alcohol until 3 a.m. now have to stop serving at 2 a.m.”

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.

Family, friends and community leaders are calling for an end to youth violence following the heartbreaking loss of 3-year-old T’Rhigi Craig, killed on Easter Sunday while riding in the backseat of his mother’s car. Police told FOX 5, “the bullet came from a gas station at the corner of Eastland and Bouldercrest roads.”

Authorities have since charged a 15-year-old boy with the shooting, highlighting concerns over youth violence in our community. Local leaders, including Pastors Orrin Hudson and Victor Speakman, are now asking parents and law enforcement to work together to proactively “steer young people from committing crimes.”

The tragedy also emphasizes the critical need for local business owners to do their part to protect our community by taking steps to deter foreseeable crime and by providing a safe premises for their patrons. The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) warns gas stations are often the targets of criminal activity due to (frequently) late hours of operation, accessibility to major roadways, and vulnerable patrons.
