5 Story Fall Kills Richard Holland in Austin, Texas
According to local reports, a man was killed following a fall from a balcony five stories above ground in Austin, Texas. The accident occurred around 11:30 p.m. at a student housing complex near 25th and Pearl Streets. Police have not released any other details, including the victim's name, pending investigation.
Update: The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Richard Holland of Plano, Texas.
Commentary Details are obviously minimal at present, but this is a tragedy any way you look at it. An independent investigation is needed to determine liability in this accident. The Austin Police Department has not released enough information to get a good assessment of the incident, but the difficulty of single-party accidents makes the separate investigation a necessity. Fault is very difficult to resolve in a incident like this, but as with any fall at a residence, coding standards must be crosschecked. Railings, at all sites, must meet city and state height and width standards, the latter meaning the separation of vertical bars. Again, this is very difficult situation to resolve but the investigation should be conducted to consider third party liability. Texas Wrongful Death Attorney Michael Grossman
