IS JUSTICE AVAILABLE? OUR LEGAL TAKE

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Nightclub guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this Shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Were any security personnel at the property?
Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shooting?
Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?
Does the property owner or management have a protocol to check guests for deadly weapons prior to entering the establishment?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for his injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the victim retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect his interests.

Nightclub Security Lapse? Our Legal Take: 6 Shot Outside The Spot in Tulsa

Local News

Six people were reportedly shot and injured outside The Spot nightclub in Tulsa early Sunday morning, September 20, 2015.

According to News On 6, officers responded to multiple shots fired outside The Spot nightclub, near Pine and Yale, around 2:30am. A fight, which apparently started inside the bar, spilled outside the club and erupted into gunfire. Tulsa Police estimate “200 people were outside the club when the shooting took place.” Six of those patrons were struck in a hail of gunfire. One of those victims reportedly suffered critical injuries to the torso and another was shot in the leg. Their current conditions, and the conditions of the four other victims, have not been released. Police are not sure whether any of the victims were involved in the initial altercation or innocent bystanders.

Police are still searching for suspects, leaving area residents once again concerned for their safety. One neighbor reportedly told media, “I hear this every other weekend down here…it’s not uncommon to hear gunshots in this neighborhood.” Another neighbor told News 6 he hopes the violence and noise will “come to an end.”

Our Legal Take

Given resident allegations of previous community violence, The Murray Law Firm is questioning whether the shooting may have been prevented and if a nightclub or parking lot security lapse may have contributed to this horrific assault.

Were any attempts made by nightclub security or management to safely and separately remove all those involved in the initial altercation before it could erupt into violence? Were police called at the start of the initial dispute?
What nightclub and parking lot security measures, such as surveillance cameras, security patrols and bright lighting, were in place at the time of the shooting?
Have there been previous incidents of violence on or near property and, if so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the nightclub and parking lot owner to deter future violence?

By law, nightclub and parking lot owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the nightclub owner and management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims may elect to pursue a legal claim for their injuries. Under such a claim, the victims may be entitled to substantial compensation.

Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victims 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 nightclub and parking lot 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:

A 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.
