Posted on June 30th 2010

There was a story in the paper today about a Flint dog bite attack. According to police, a man was walking down the street on Whitney Avenue, near South Ballenger Highway, when a pitbull jumped on his back and attacked him and bit his left arm.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the man recovers from his injuries.

Oak Park Girl Drowns in Apartment Swimming Pool That Was Poorly Maintained

Posted on June 21st 2010

There was a tragic story in the news today about an Oak park girl drowning in an apartment swimming pool. According to Oak Park police, the girl had been swimming in a pool at Providence Green Apartments when she slipped under the surface unnoticed and drowned. The water at the apartment pool was too murky to notice her body.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. My condolences go out to the family of the deceased girl.

Parents of children who are victims and/or drown to apartment pool accidents may have legal rights. In pools that are not properly maintained, children can have difficulty with their footing and may not be observable if they are below a filthy water surface such as this accident. Due to the fact that the water in the swimming pool was murky, the apartment could be held negligent for not properly maintaining their pool and a lawsuit may be able to be filed.
