Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules That Homeowner is Liable For Pet Attack

by Administrator 31. December 2009 02:16

Homeowner liability has been a hot-button issue in recent years, especially when it comes to responsibility for pet attacks. The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a woman who allowed a man and his dogs to live in her home is responsible for injuries caused to a neighbor when the dogs attacked.

While the woman's defense attorneys argued that she should not be held responsible because the dogs were under the direct supervision of their "keeper", the court ruled that her actions of "harboring" the animals made her liable for her neighbor's injuries.

The risks associated with pools in the winter

by Administrator 21. December 2009 06:39

Many individuals and families have pools at their homes for fun in the summer. However, when the winter weather sets in, pools that are not drained may freeze over.

Frozen pools can be dangerous for the same reasons that frozen lakes and ponds are dangerous. These pools of frozen water may be used for ice skating or other recreational activities. 

When they are used for such activities, individuals could slip, fall, and hurt themselves. Also, they could break through the ice and suffer injuries from the freezing cold water.

If you or anyone you know has been injured in an ice accident, contact the Sheboygan ice accident lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

The danger of tire defects

by Administrator 16. December 2009 04:01

Tires are not designed to last forever. Given the design and materials, tires eventually wear down and need to be replaced.

However, many drivers try to drive on tires for longer than they should. When this occurs, drivers increase their chance of being involved in serious accidents. 

If the accident is due to the tires being worn down, then the driver may be responsible for the damages. However, if the tires are new and contain a manufacturing defect, then the tire manufacturer may be responsible for the damages related to the accident. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured in an accident due to a tire defect, contact the Sheboygan tire defect lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874. 

What to do if a tree falls on your car

by Administrator 7. December 2009 06:35

During the winter season, high winds sometimes cause tree branches to fll or entire trees to collapse. When this occurs, the tree or tree branch may hit a vehicle.

In some cases, the vehicle damage will be covered by car insurance. However, if the driver is also injured when the tree hits the car, then that driver may or may not be able to sue for damages. 

If the owner of the property where the tree fell previously knew that the tree might fall, then that owner may be sued for damages. The liability and extent of the damages often depend on the facts and circumstances of the case.
