Security Failure? Our Legal Take: Shooting Reported at Hillview Apartments, Memphis

Did negligent security contribute to this horrific apartment shooting? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a claim for substantial compensation.

Local News

Memphis Police are investigating an “attempted robbery and shooting in the Hillview Apartments,” which occurred Sunday, May 1, 2016 per the report of WMC News 5.

Two people were apparently sitting inside a vehicle, at the Hillview Village Apartments, when they were approached by an armed gunman demanding their property. WMC News 5 reports, “When one of the victims said he didn’t have anything, the suspect shot him multiple times.” That victim was transported to Regional Medical Center with critical injuries, per WMC News reports.

Police have not yet identified the suspect, presumably leaving residents once again concerned for their safety. Media reports indicate prior shootings occurred on the property in October 2015, September 2014 and June 2014.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure within the community. Given reports of prior area crime, The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the apartment complex and whether this horrific assault may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated entry, fencing, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place at the time of the shooting?
  • Were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner, following prior shooting reports, to deter crime and protect residents?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all residents legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue a legal claim 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 the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Adequate Apartment Security? Our Legal Take: Clearbrook Village Apartment Robbery Leaves 1 Injured

Local News

A 26-year-old man was reportedly shot and critically injured during an armed robbery inside the Clearbrook Village Apartments Sunday morning, September 20, 2015.

According to News 3, the male victim was approached inside the Clearbrook Village Apartments, on Tall Oaks Circle, by an armed man wearing a ski mask. The victim apparently suffered multiple gunshot wounds during the attempted robbery. He was transported to Regional Medical Center. His current condition has not been released.

Police have not yet identified the suspect.

Our Legal Take

As police continue to search for suspects, The Murray Law Firm is questioning whether this horrific shooting may have been prevented and whether a potential apartment security lapse may hold some responsibility.

  • How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What access-controls and security measures, such as gated- and ID-controlled entry, bright lighting, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to protect residents and deter crime?
  • Have there been previous incidents of violence on or near property and, if so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the apartment complex owner and management?

By law, apartment owners are required to protect all residents and guests 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 to protect those on its premises, the victim may elect to pursue a legal claim for his injuries. Under such a claim, the victim may be entitled to substantial compensation.

Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.  Based upon its prior experience in handling apartment security negligence claims, 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.

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.
