Michigan is a great state for golfing and the number of beautiful and challenging courses seems endless.  Many courses are located within golf communities all over Michigan.  While most people do not consider golf to be a hazardous game, there are a number of injuries related to golf cart accidents.

For the non-golfer, this may seem unusual because no one expects someone to play golf and return with a serious injury.  However, the injuries from golf car accidents can be signficant.  These accidents are often the result of unsafe golf carts, driver error, improper golf course and path design, and defective equipment.  Other accidents occur when pedestrians are struck and injured by golf carts either at the course or in the community.

Golf cart accident cases are unique and a person who is injured in  a Michigan golf cart accident should contact an attorney experienced in these cases.  We recently settled a golf car accident case for $400,000 for a woman who was struck and injured by a golf cart in a gated West Michigan community.  She required surgery for back and neck injuries.

An incident at the Clarkston High School pool caused six children to be taken to the hospital.  The children apparently suffered injuries due to excessive chlorine being poured into the swimming pool by the automated chemical treatment system.  The cause is to be believed an electrical blackout that caused the system to malfunction.

The children had complaints of respiratory problems.  Fortunately, the children have been released from the hospital and I am hopeful that they fully recover.  The pool is set to re-open in a few weeks.

Our Michigan personal injury lawyers are frequently contacted this type of year for firework accident injuries.  Many of these injuries are very serious and result in burns, scars, and even blindness.  Fireworks are a great way to celebrate July 4th, but lack of necessary safety measures and adult supervision can have devastating results.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission Fireworks Safety page has a great list of recommendations for the safe use and enjoyment of fireworks.  Parents who use these guidelines will have a reduced risk of injuries to their children and other spectators.

• Do not allow young children to play with fire-works under any circumstances. Sparklers, consid-ered by many the ideal “safe” firework for the young, burn at very high temperatures and can easily ignite clothing. Children cannot understand the danger involved and cannot act appropriately in case of emergency.
• Older children should only be permitted to use fireworks under close adult supervision. Do not allow any running or horseplay
• Light fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from houses, dry leaves or grass and flammable materials.
• Keep a bucket of water nearby for emergencies and for pouring on fireworks that don’t go off.
• Do not try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Douse and soak them with water and throw them away.
• Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks.
• Never ignite fireworks in a container, especially a glass or metal container.
• Keep unused fireworks away from firing areas.
• Store fireworks in a dry, cool place. Check instructions for special storage directions.
• Observe local laws.
• Never have any portion of your body directly over a firework while lighting.
• Don’t experiment with homemade fireworks.

 Of course, the most important thing is parental supervision and implementation of these safe practices.  Hopefully, we will sire fireworks and not fire engines this July 4th Holiday!

Our Michigan ORV and ATV accident lawyers represent clients who have suffered injuries in off-road vehicles and all-terrain vehicles.  The injuries from these accidents can be devastating and are often catastrophic.  Many parents are unaware of these potential hazards.

According to statistics, 41% of ORV deaths are to individuals under the age of 16.  Many others suffered significant injuries, including brain injuries and spinal cord damage.  Others victims suffer additional permanent injuries.

Michigan has ORV laws that are designed to prevent these serious accidents.  The Michigan Handbook of Off-Road Vehicle Laws discusses these safety laws and regulations.  It also makes recommendations to parents and guardians on safe riding for children and young adults.
