It is being reported that in July 2007, Margaret Malinasky of Royal Oak was carrying her infant granddaughter while walking along a residential sidewalk when she tripped on a raised portion of the sidewalk.   The incident reportedly caused her to break two toes and displace others.   Ms. Malinasky later filed a lawsuit against the city of Royal Oak claiming that the city was negligent in its maintenance of the sidewalk.   While the severity of her injuries and resultant impact on her life is unknown, a case evaluation panel valued the claim at $83,000.   The city did not pay her that amount, however, it is being reported that the city of Royal Oak has agreed to pay her approximately $49,000 to settle the case and avoid the necessity of going to trial without admitting fault.

A federal jury in Detroit has been picked in the wrongful death lawsuit arising out of a 2005 incident that destroyed the Weinstein family.  Judith Weinstein was driving to a medical appointment with her two sons, Alex, 12, and Sam, 9.  Alex was in the front seat and Sam was seated in the back.  As Mrs. Weinstein entered a left-turn lane on 12 Mile Road, east of Orchard Lake Road, Thomas Wellinger crashed his SUV into the rear of the Weinstein vehicle at 70 mph, pushing it into oncoming traffic.  Judith Weinstein and Alex Weinstein were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.  Sam was ejected from the vehicle and died a short time later.

Gary Weinstein has filed suit against Livonia-based UGS Inc., the employer of Wellinger at the time.  The lawsuit alleges that UGS Inc. was negligent in allowing Wellinger to leave the office visibly intoxicated.  Wellinger allegedly left his place of employment 45 minutes prior to the crash to see a psychiatrist about his alcoholism.  At the time he crashed into the Weinsteins, Wellinger had a blood-alcohol level of 0.43.

Juliana Karmann, a freshman pre-med student at Denison University in Ohio, was driving home last Friday evening for the Thanksgiving holiday along with three other students.  She never made it home.  Juliana was traveling west on the Ohio 15 when her 2004 Chevrolet SUV hit the rear end of a 2001 Freightliner tractor-trailer.  It was not her fault.  It is being reported that the driver of the Freightliner, a Detroit man, stopped at a stop sign on southbound Township Highway 95 and then tried to cross the westbound lane, without the right of way, and go east on Ohio 15.  Police say Karmann had the right of way.  The Freightliner driver failed to yield.  When Karmann struck the tractor-trailer, she spun out and slid across the eastbound lanes of Ohio 15 where she struck a 2009 Chrysler carrying two passengers.  Juliana was dead at the scene of the crash.  One of her passengers continues to recover from his injuries

The driver of the tractor-trailer was charged with negligent homicide and failure to yield.  He was taken to Wyandot County Jail in Ohio.

Two women were injured on southbound US.23 just south of US-12 in Pittsfield Township when the car they were in rolled over and came to a rest on the edge of northbound US-23.  No other vehicles were involved.  Both northbound and southbound lanes of US-23 were closed for nearly an hour as a result.  The driver claims that the accident occurred because she was cut off by another car.  Firefighters had to cut the driver out of the car in order to free her and both women were taken to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital for treatment.

On Monday, Rochester Hills City Council directed staff members to draft an amendment to the city ordinance that would impose stronger punishment upon dog owners whose dogs injure people or other animals.  City Council President Greg Hooper reportedly indicated that the amendment to the ordinance would not be breed specific but would rather focus on making dog owners more responsible.     According to the Oakland Press, Councilman James Rosen stated that “we have to make the consequences of aggressive dog behavior so onerous…I mean major-league financial penalties and even incarceration.”

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced that 3 pit bull owners are being charged with felonies for failing to control a dangerous animal that caused serious injury.  The charges arise out of 3 separate attacks by 4 pit bulls, one in Westland and two in Dearborn Heights , within the last 2 months.  The 39-year-old victim of the Westland attack reportedly suffered wounds requiring more than 50 sutures.  The first attack in Dearborn Heights resulted in face, jaw and arm wounds for the 51-year-old victim.  In the last Dearborn Heights attack, both a 10-year-old girl and her 75-year-old rescuer suffered bites requiring 14-15 stitches each.

The Free Press is reporting that Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has scheduled a news conference for 2:30 p.m. today to announce whether charges will be issued in three recent pit bull attacks.  Two of the attacks occurred in Dearborn Heights and one occurred in Westland .  All of the attacks involved different dogs.

In all three attacks, the victims suffered serious injuries.  In the September 23 attack, P.J. Stevens, a 51-year-old woman, suffered punctures to the hand and thigh, a ripped ear, injuries to the back of her head and right arm as well as scrapes to her body when the dogs dragged her on the sidewalk.  In another attack in Dearborn Heights on September 25^th, a 10-year-old girl suffered 14 stitches in her arm while her rescuer, Gerald LaMonica, who kicked the dog to get it away from the girl, suffered 15 stitches in the leg.  The Westland attack on a woman in August resulted in the police shooting and killing the dog.

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.

Six-year-olds should be living care-free lives full of friends, school and play.  For Tyah Norris, her life is one of pain and recovery. 

On August 24^th little Tyah was viciously attacked by 3 pit bulls.  The focus of the attack was to Tyah’s face and head.  When Blackman Township Public Safety Officer Randy Hengesbaugh arrived on the scene, he didn’t think an ambulance would come quickly enough to save her life.  Against protocol, he took Tyah to Allegiance Health himself.  The family believes he saved her live.

Tyah was ultimately taken to the Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor where she was hospitalized for nearly 3 weeks.  She had surgery to repair damage to her eyes, nose and other features.  Since her release, she must return to the hospital on a weekly basis for further treatment.  Her family says that at night, Tyah has to wear tubes in her nose to keep her airways open.   The scars to her cheek and around her swollen eyes are reportedly clearly visible and may be permanent.  The left side of Tyah’s face is numb and she can only achieve a half-smile.  It is reported Tyah’s head must be wrapped in gauze as there is no skin beneath it.   Surgery is scheduled for October 19 where doctors will harvest skin from Tyah’s thigh and use it to repair her head.  She will likely need 3 – 4 more surgeries in the next 6 months.

How did this happen?  Tyah says that a girl 4 years older than her invited Tyah into her yard.  The yard was enclosed by a 6-foot wooden privacy fence.  Inside the yard is where the attack occurred.  The dogs were owned by the homeowners and have since been euthanized.  The owners are being charged with a felony for keeping a dangerous animal that caused serious injury. The owners of the dogs claim that the dogs were not previously violent and that they cautioned the 6-year-old about going in the yard. 

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. The only exception would usually be if the victim was trespassing or provoked the dog in some manner.

Unbelievable.  After blogging on Friday about a pit bull attack in Dearborn Heights, another attack occurred in Dearborn Heights over the weekend.  At approximately 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, a 10-year-old girl was playing on the sidewalk on Colgate Street .  From out of nowhere, a pit bull ran from a backyard and viciously attacked the girl.  Lucky for the little girl, Gerald LaMonica, 75, was on a walk and saw the entire attack.  He ran across the street yelling at the dog and reportedly kicked the dog in the chest to get it off of her.  While LaMonica was successful, the dog then turned and attacked him.  The attack left the girl with 14 stitches in her arm and leg.  LaMonica required 15 stitches to his leg and is also having back pain after kicking the dog.  The dog is currently in quarantine pending further investigation by the police.

Yet another horrific story of a dog attack!  Yesterday, a Dearborn Heights woman was in her own backyard gardening when she was attacked by 2 pit bulls.  The severely injured woman was reportedly bitten all over and required hospitalization for treatment of her injuries.

Remember, In Michigan the dog owner will be held strictly liable for any injuries that another person sustains due to his or her dog's attack, if the victim was on public property or was lawfully on private property. Even if the dog had no previous aggressive behavior or had never attacked before, the dog owner will still be held liable.

A 2-year-old girl suffered a broken femur when she fell from a 9^th story window at the North Park Place apartment complex in Southfield.  Investigators believe that the girl may have been reaching for a sippy cup on the window sill and went through the screen.  At this time, investigators do not believe a faulty screen played a role in the fall however, neighbors are questioning the strength of the screen and other falls have occurred at the apartment complex.  It is being reported that a 16-month-old died in 2006 after falling from a 14^th floor window.  Apparently, Southfield city officials intend to form a task force to work with apartment management to prevent similar falls from occurring in the future.

Two dog attacks have been reported in Waterford Township since Sunday.  The first involved a pit bull attack upon a neighboring Yorkshire terrier.  It is being reported that the terrier was in its fenced yard when the pit bull forced its way under the fence.  The owner of the Yorkshire terrier picked it up but the pit bull leaped up and bit the head of the terrier.  The pit bull reportedly would not release until its owner jumped over the fence and forced it to release the smaller dog. 

The second attack is even more frightening.  On Tuesday, a 4-day-old infant was on his grandfather’s lap with when he was bit in the head by his father’s dog.  The pit bull mix was reportedly at the grandfather’s feet when, without warning or provocation, the dog got up and bit the newborn.  The baby was taken to a local hospital where he was hospitalized for a head laceration.  The dog has been turned over to Oakland County Animal Control where it will be destroyed with the dog owner’s permission.

Being the victim of a dog bite or any type of animal attack is not only frightening, but it leaves a victim at risk of facing permanent scarring or disfigurement. Depending upon the size of the dog and the size, weight and strength of the victim, a dog can cause serious injuries or even death. Unfortunately, almost half of all dog bite victims are children. Because of their small stature, children are more likely to sustain injury to the face, head or neck. Treatment for any dog bite injury may be very expensive. This is one of the main reasons it is so crucial to talk to a lawyer about your case and recovering compensation.
