Could the tragic loss of this Coconut Creek grandfather have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Michael Griffin’s family?
Local News
Security measures are under scrutiny following the fatal shooting of 56-year-old father-of two and grandfather, Michael Robin Griffin.
According to Local 10, Mr. Griffin was shot during “an apparent robbery attempt…in the parking lot…at 5571 W. Hillsboro Boulevard in Coconut Creek” on October 12, 2018.
Coconut Creek Police told The Sun-Sentinel Mr. Griffin had made “a late night run to pick up medication for a friend” and never returned. Investigators have since “arrested three teenagers” in connection with his death.
Our Legal Take
Store 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 tragedy may have been prevented.
- Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, monitored surveillance cameras, clear sight lines, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Michael Griffin 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 or manager failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Michael Robin Griffin 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.
