Wrongful Death/Negligent Security

$6 Million Settlement to Family of Girl Killed by Criminal Crossfire

Ronnie Mabra and co-counsel obtained a $6 million wrongful death and negligent security case settlement on behalf of 11-year-old Ashley Jones, killed when a stray bullet ripped through her family’s apartment as she slept. The recovery represents the commercial property’s full insurance limit.

After detangling a liability-obscuring tree of corporate shell entities, the plaintiff’s team overcame a policy exclusion that would have provided the victim’s family no more than $500,000. The property failed to adequately protect residents from the violent and criminal activities, leading to the child’s death.
