RIVERSIDE COUNTY - A 63-year-old woman from Riverside died after she apparently fell from a sixth-floor balcony at a downtown assisted-living center, The Press-Enterprise reported. The accident happened at about 7 a.m. Sunday along the side yard of the Riverside Plymouth Tower Care and Living Center, which is located on the 3400 block of Lemon Street. Investigators are currently trying to determine whether the woman fell or jumped off the balcony. According to Southwest Riverside News Network, the woman identified as Marlee Brothers, died at the scene at 7:38 a.m.
In situations where the cause of the accident is unclear, the family of the victim would be well-advised to speak to a Riverside personal injury lawyer who has handled numerous wrongful death claims. If police officials determine that the woman did not jump but fell, the entity in which the woman was residing can be held financially liable for her death. Therefore, contacting a knowledgeable attorney is vital in this case, so that he or she can help the family protect their legal rights to recover the maximum compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of love, care, affection, and companionship, or other related damages in this tragic accident.
