Could this violent Chesapeake Pizza Hut robbery have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Don Lee?

Local News

38-year-old Don Lee was shot and injured during an attempted robbery in a Chesapeake restaurant parking lot January 9, 2019.

According to WAVY 10, Mr. Lee and a woman were “approached by an armed suspect as they were leaving work…at a Pizza Hut.” The assailant “ordered them back inside the store and demanded money from the safe.” Mr. Lee suffered a gunshot wound to the neck during the course of the robbery. His current condition has not been released.

Our Legal Take

Restaurant employees and parking lot 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 shooting may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • What parking lot security measures, such as bright lighting, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime and protect patrons and employees 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 parking lot owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those who work and visit its premises, Don Lee may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries. Additionally, as Mr. Lee was apparently working at the time of the shooting, he may be entitled to substantial workers’ compensation benefits.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence and workers’ compensation 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.

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.

Fatal Security Lapse? Our Legal Take: Al Baker Shot, Killed in Donelson Gas Station Robbery

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless shooting? We represent, and have recovered millions of dollars for, individuals who have suffered a tragic loss or sustained an injury as a consequence of negligent security. Read Our Legal Take to find out if the Baker family may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Tennessee, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.

Local News

61-year-old Al Baker, a Krispy Kreme delivery driver of over 30 years, was reportedly shot and killed during a robbery at a Donelson Mapco gas station Sunday, December 4, 2016.

The Tennessean reports, Nashville police are investigating an early morning “robbery and shooting at Mapco, 465 Donelson Pike.” Authorities apparently told media the gas station robber opened fire on the delivery truck “while fleeing the gas station with cash after the robbery.”

Our Legal Take

Gas station and business patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the subject property and whether this tragic loss of life may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, security patrols and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property and, if so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to protect patrons?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the property owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Al Baker may seek justice and elect to pursue a legal claim for his wrongful death. Additionally, as Mr. Baker was apparently working at the time of his death, his family may be entitled to substantial workers’ compensation benefits.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling both security negligence and workers’ compensation 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.
