Could the senseless loss of this young man have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Avery Brown’s family?

Local News

Security measures are in question after gunfire erupted in a Mishawaka bar Friday morning, September 21, 2018, claiming the life of 28-year-old Avery Christopher Brown.

According to ABC 57, the shooting occurred “near the bathroom…at [a bar] on Grape Road.” Tragically, Mr. Brown succumbed to fatal injuries.

Police have not yet identified a suspect, per WNDU reports, leaving Mr. Brown’s family searching for answers and justice.

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless loss of life? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if Avery Brown’s family may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Indiana, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.

Our Legal Take

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

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • How did a gun gain entry to the property?
  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, bag searches, surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Brown 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 bar owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Avery Brown 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 the victim’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

HotelOpenDoor-300x211In August 2018, ABC 7 reports, a woman was raped inside a Las Vegas hotel room. Only weeks later, KTNV reports, another woman suffered a sexual assault in a different Las Vegas hotel. The unconscionable attacks raise questions over hotel security measures in the Las Vegas area.

While guest safety is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner and management, hospitality industry leaders urge travelers to take precautions to protect themselves. Meetings Today recently collaborated with female business travel experts to develop “safety tips for women in order to avoid sexual harassment and assault while on the road.”

  • If possible, request to have a room that is not at the end of a long hallway.
  • When heading to your room, pay attention to who’s in the elevator with you….If you notice someone get off at the same floor as you, try to maneuver to where that individual is walking ahead of you and never behind you.
  • Try to choose hotels that have taken care to meet female travelers’ needs with features such as a female-only floor and a closed-circuit camera inside the room to see who’s knocking at the door.
  • Do not share your room number….Make sure to double lock your room door from the inside.
  • Do not arrange out-of-hours meetings in your hotel room (after the event is over, for example). Always try to get together at a coffee shop, restaurant, etc.

Read the complete list of travel safety tips at Meetings Today.

Guest Rights and Hotel Responsibility

By law, hotel owners have a duty to provide a safe and secure premises and to protect their guests from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a hotel owner be aware of prior criminal activity on or near property, they have a duty to take additional security precautions to deter future crime and to protect guests. Should a hotel owner or manager fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any sexual assaults, injuries, or deaths which occur as a consequence.

Could the loss of this Jupiter grandfather have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Fairman’s family?

Local News

Security measures are in question after 77-year-old Bernard Leonard Fairman was fatally shot during a “strong-armed robbery outside the Stein Mart clothing store at the Shoppes at Oakbrook plaza,” September 11, 2018, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Palm Beach Gardens police told CBS 12 Mr. Fairman “was unable to speak after the attack and died a few days [later] of his injuries.” Police are still searching for a suspect.
