| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |

On October 28th, Thomas Dells, of Rockford, Michigan allegedly used duct tape as a means of securing a trailer to his van. It is reported that he was using the trailer to haul items from a home. As he was driving on 10 Mile Road NE, east of Myers Lake Avenue in Courtland Township, the trailer allegedly came loose from the van and became airborne, flew over a car driving behind Dells and hit the windshield of a vehicle driven by 46-year-old Toni Hall, killing her. Also in that vehicle was Debra Carter who allegedly sustained brain and nerve damage.
Mr. Dells previously pled no contest to a charge of negligent homicide, an offense punishable by up to two years in jail. Today, Kent County Circuit Judge Donald Johnston sentenced Mr Dells to up to 4 1/2 months in jail.

| Accident Victim's Condition Upgraded To Fair |
| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |

Last Friday, 23-year-old Stephanie Biaz reportedly rolled the car she was driving in Parma Township severely injuring both she and her passenger, 23-year-old Alex Ancrile. Both passenger and driver were hospitalized at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. It is reported that their conditions have been upgraded to fair today.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office indicated that it took them about 20 minutes to find the vehicle because Ancrile, who called 911 from his cell phone, did not know their location at the time of the crash and the cell phone provider could not locate his whereabouts. Both driver and passenger were wearing seatbelts. Police reported that alcohol likely contributed to the crash.

| Man Mauled by Pit Bulls - Trial To Begin May 6 |
| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |
|
On March 5, 2009, Duane E. VanLanHam and neighbor, Bridgetta Hadley, both of Buena Vista Township, were viciously attacked by three unrestrained pit bull terriers. It is reported that Ms. Hadley was attacked as she left her house to go to work, the dogs pouncing on her before she could get to her car. Mr. VanLanHam heard her screams, saw the attack and immediately ran to her aid, grabbing a stick on the way. Mr. VanLanHam was able to get the dogs off of Ms. Hadley and get her to the safety of a car. Unfortunately, the vicious dogs turned on him, biting Mr. VanLanHam repeatedly and even pulling him off the hood of a car when he tried to climb onto the car to escape the dogs.
Both dog bite victims suffered serious and permanent injuries. Ms. Hadley is reported to have been hospitalized for 4 days with bites to both legs and arms with permanent nerve damage to one of her arms. Mr. VanLanHam reportedly spent more than 6 months in the hospital enduring surgery, infection and the loss of numerous fingers and toes. Prosecutors charged the owners of the dogs, Anthony D. Hunt and Shamorrow S. Amos with six counts of possessing dangerous animals causing serious injury. The trial is scheduled to begin May 6th.
Michigan is a strict liability state in regards to dog bites, meaning a dog is not allowed “one free bite” as in some other states. No matter whether the dog has shown aggressive behavior in the past or if it has already bitten someone before, the
dog owner may be held liable for the victim’s injuries.
If you or a loved one was bitten by a dog, you may be able to work with an attorney to file a claim against the owner to recover financial compensation for your injuries. At Freedman & Freedman, your initial consultation is free. We can meet with you in person, over the phone or can even travel to your home or to the hospital in order to discuss your case and what we can do for you. Contact a Detroit dog bite lawyer at Freedman & Freedman today to talk about your claim and how you can bring the dog owner to justice. |
