Crime Scene Clean up Liability Issues

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

City and county leaders must be very careful with respect to how they instruct their governments’ personnel to respond to accidents and crimes. When it comes to crime scenes or accident scenes, they need to be familiar with their state law regarding liability for failure to clean up such sites so there is no physical hazards remaining that could harm the public.

In some states counties could be held liable for negligent cleanup of an accident or crime site. In some both counties and cities could be held liable and in others only cities could be held liable. The pertinent inquiry involves the question of whether the state has a constitutional provision which immunizes cities and/or counties from such liability. There is also a question as to whether the immunity is absolute or qualified. Another way of looking at it is whether the immunity is total or partial.

From a public health standpoint it is always best to bring in a professional crime scene cleaning company, accident scene cleaning company, homicide scene cleaning company, suicide scene cleaning company, odor removing company or meth lab scene cleaning company. From a legal standpoint, the question revolves around the issues of available immunity and the nature of that immunity for particular jurisdictions. If the immunity that is available to a county or city is not absolute, the city or county should bring in such accident scene cleaner companies, death scene cleaner companies, homicide scene cleaner companies, crime scene cleaner companies, suicide scene cleaner companies, blood scene cleaner companies, odor cleaner companies or bio hazard cleaner companies when the occasion arises for their services.

Drunk Driving At Ballpark Causes Accident Scene Cleanup

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Jud and his buddies got to the ballpark about an hour before game time. More than enough time to kick back a few cold beverages while tailgating. Once they got in the game they managed to imbibe at least 3 more 24 oz. beers before they quit selling in the seventh inning. As they were leaving the stadium on the way out, Jud was attempting to take a left turn without the arrow and failed to see another car that had the right of way. The ensuing collision caused various injuries and the loss of blood to one passenger who was dislodged from Jud’s convertible as he failed to have on his seat belt. There were police nearby so their response was quick but the accident worsened an already tight traffic situation among people leaving the stadium after the game.

The police charged Jud with Driving Under The Influence after they gave him field sobriety tests by the side of the road and tested his breath for alcohol content. They also cited him with Failure To Yield. Since his friends were either injured or drunk (or both), no one could drive the car home. They obtained a tow company to take the damaged car away. They also got an accident clean up company to come to this part of the parking lot where blood and debris were located. This accident scene cleanup company had experience in blood scene clean ups, homicide scene clean ups, suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, odor removal clean ups and death scene clean ups not to mention staph infection scene clean ups so they knew what they were doing.

Jud spent the night in jail and one of his friends had to make a stop at the emergency room. They all were brutally hung over the next day. They all felt the physical and mental toll of their activities from the night before. But the people who arrived at the ballpark on the next day and parked in the lot near the site of the accident saw no hangover from the previous night. The accident scene cleanup company had performed much better than Jud had driven. Hopefully the attendants of the afternoon game would not be replicating Jud’s efforts and give reason for the accident scene clean up company to get additional business at or around the park.

Interstate Traffic Accident Requires Comprehensive Expertise

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

A large tractor-trailer ambled down the six-lane interstate at 65 to 70 miles per hour. Carrying a load of flammable liquids, the truck driver hoped to reach his destination within the next 4 hours. As he cruised through the metro area, he saw a Ford Explorer ricochet off a Lexus SUV. He tried to avoid the spinning Explorer by braking and then moving his wheel swiftly to the left. Instead of missing him they collided but the evasive maneuver forced the truck to jackknife. The impact by the Explorer caused a puncture in the truck’s load so in addition to a mangled Explorer; three other cars that got caught in the accident, a light blue toxic liquid flowed on to the expressway.

Once the police got to the site, they stopped traffic entirely in the direction that the traffic had been moving, called EMS to transport the twelve injured motorists and contacted an accident scene clean up company. The accident scene clean up company that also performs murder scene cleanings, crime scene cleanings, homicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, meth lab cleanings, odor removal cleanings and death scene cleanings had particularly strong expertise to handle this catastrophe. With knowledge about the nature of the leaking liquid, they launched a plan to conduct a large mop up operation of the chemical. In addition, they faced the horrible task of cleaning the remains of the deceased driver of the Explorer as well as tissue and blood of some other injured motorists. They also coordinated with the tow truck officials who were also called to the scene to dispose of automobile and truck wreckage. Finally, they applied a solvent to absorb the residual chemicals and then dispersed some sand along the affected lanes to ensure no unusual skidding would result once the highway was reopened.

The large job undertaken by the accident scene cleaners was as sobering as it was multifaceted. But the comprehensive expertise of the trauma scene clean up staff enabled it to execute the cleaning. In this city of millions traffic was resumed in just a few hours. While nothing can compensate for the loss of life and other injuries, the silver lining in this situation was that the death scene cleanup of the flammable liquid was completed before any combustible incident occurred. The tragedy was disturbing but it was prevented from being much worse.

The Experience Is Necessary

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

A family of four is spending a comfortable Sunday afternoon strolling down the sidewalk in their neighborhood walking to a nearby park. A negligent driver, drunk from the several alcoholic beverages he consumed, cruises down the road at speeds in excess of fifteen miles per hour over the stated limit. As it goes past one intersection another car pulls out. In a feeble effort to avoid the other car, the intoxicated driver swerves, goes up on to the sidewalk and hits the entire family and a utility pole. The entire family is killed and the driver is severely injured, bleeding profusely and suffering from many broken bones.

Within minutes the city police arrive at the scene. They immediately call an ambulance for the driver who will be held in custody once at the hospital. They then call an accident scene cleaner company. With expertise in suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups, this company wields the experience necessary to handle the job. In this particular case, both the mother and father were widely known in the neighborhood. Each in their own right was esteemed within their professional circles and within the community. The trauma among those in the area is expected to be significant.

By jumping into quick, but not reckless, action, the accident scene cleaners are able to restore the sight to its previous beauty. By the next morning, several mourners and others who wish to pay their respects by placing flowers and notes of affection about those who lost their lives. Had the accident scene cleaning company not done their job with such esprit, this fitting, if sad, memorial would not have been able to take place.
