Pizza Hut Food Poisoning Lawsuit

According to the Associated Press, a group of people have filed a Pizza Hut Food Poisoning Lawsuit in Greenwood, Mississippi. NPC International, the largest franchisee of Pizza Hut, is named the sole defendant. The article goes on to say that on January 8th, 19 people had to be taken to the hospital for treatment of symptoms that sounded like food poisoning, such as vomiting and nausea.

The article further states that theMississippi Department of Health discovered raw chicken at “inappropriate temperatures.” Though the health department did state that “when bacteria is found in raw chicken, illness does not typically come on so swiftly.”

The article also states that any number of food born pathogens could be to blame such as E. Coli, Salmonella, Listeriosis and/or Norovirus.

Fatal Kalkaska County Off-Road Vehicle Accident

I read an tragic story in today’s news about a Fatal Kalkaska County Off-Road Vehicle Accident in Orange Township on July 18th. According to the Michigan State Police, the accident happened when the driver of a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 4-wheeler allegedly lost control of the off-road vehicle while on East Trail near Antler Road.

While the off-road vehicle is designed for one person, two other people were riding on it. State Police say that all three riders, none of whom were wearing helmets, were thrown from the vehicle. Two of the riders were taken to Munson Medical Center with serious injuries. One of the riders was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. State Police believe alcohol was a factor in this terrible accident and continue to investigate.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident. My most heart-felt condolences to the family of the deceased rider and I wish the fullest and speediest recovery to the surviving riders.

Sanilac County Car Accident Fatality

I read tragic story over the weekend about a Sanilac County Car Accident Fatalityon Stone Road near Sheldon Road in Argyle Township on July 17th. A Snover man was a passenger in a 1995 Ford pick-up truck when the driver allegedly lost control and rolled the truck, according to police.

The driver sustained serious injuries but the passenger was declared dead on the scene. Police suspect alcohol may have been a factor and continue to investigate.

I   am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and give my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the passenger for their loss.

Michigan car accident victims have a number of legal rights.  For this type of auto accident in Michigan, the family of the passenger can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits.  No-Fault benefits will cover funeral expenses, medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. 

In addition, the car accident injury victim may also have claims for personal injuries against any driver determined to be at fault in this auto accident.  The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victim can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.  The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of car accident case.  Furthermore, if alcohol is found to be a factor in the case, another possible claim would be a potential Michigan dram shop case against the seller or furnisher of the  alcohol before the accident.

An experienced Michigan car accident lawyer can assist the victim with this type of claim.  Auto accident victims should not speak with the insurance adjuster for the negligent driver before consulting with an attorney.

Van Buren County Boating Accident

I have written a number of articles on boating accidents and tubing injuries in Michigan.  While the Michigan lakes provide great summer fun, there is a significant risk of injury with water sports.  I just read a terrible news story about a Van Buren County boating accident that has seriously injured two teens from Illinois.

According to the report, three boys were on tubes behind a speed boat when two of the tubes collided and then struck the third tube.  The boys were thrown from the tubes and suffered serious injuries.  My thoughts go out to the boys and their families and I hope for a speedy and full recovery.

Victims of boat accident and tube accidents in Michigan do have legal rights.  If they are injured due to the negligence of another boater or even to the driver of the boat that they are on or being pulled by, a claim for compensation can often be made.  Typically, the boat owner has insurance that provides coverage for boat accident claims.
