Tow Truck Driver Shot at Eden at Watersedge Apartments and Townhomes in Memphis, TN
Crime at Memphis apartment complexes continues.
Just this morning, a tow truck driver was shot in the head through the window of his truck at the Eden at Watersedge Apartments and Townhomes near Fox Meadows on South Mendenhall Road. According to the news we’re reading, witnesses heard four gunshots ring out before calling 911. When police arrived, they found the driver inside of the tow truck unconscious. Officers had to break out a window of the truck to get inside. According to WMC Action News 5 in Memphis, the victim was identified as 28-year-old Darrell Adams and he was checking for parking violations at the apartment complex when he was shot.
Does the Victim (Tow Truck Driver, Darrell Adams) have a claim against the apartment complex where he got shot?
Maybe. There are many factors to consider. In Tennessee, apartment complex owners and managers must take reasonable measures to protect tenants and guests from foreseeable criminal attacks. Whether Mr. Adams would be able to recover against the Edens at Watersedge depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the facts of how the incident occurred, security measures provided at the apartment complex, and crime levels for the apartment complex and surrounding neighborhood.

We’ve had an outstanding experience with this firm across multiple needs, including trust document creation and forming an LLC. From start to finish, they were professional and proactive. They made sure we understood every step of the process and checked in to confirm our preferences, as well as offering thoughtful alternatives whenever something didn’t feel like a good fit. That level of communication and attention to detail is rare. Every interaction built confidence that we were in the right hands. They not only handled the legal work effectively, but also made the entire process feel manageable and well-guided. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely continue using them in the future.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Judith Denham and her legal assistant, Gaby Wright, made a great team in creating a trust for me. Judith explained everything in a clear, cohesive way and set up a trust in a timely manner. She gave me a binder for my trust with all the legal paperwork sectioned off in tabs so I can find things easily. When I had questions, Judith and Gaby were responsive and helpful. I give them my highest recommendation.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a few (what I would consider) silly questions to ask the legal team at Patterson Bray PLLC. Having very little knowledge of the situation I needed clarity on, I had no idea what to expect. I was met with nothing but professionalism and warmth from attorney Rachel Meadows. She gave me information I didn’t even remotely consider, and my questions were thoroughly answered without judgement. She could have certainly given me less detailed responses, but I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation, and appreciated her taking me seriously. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received from this law firm and will happily recommend it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
