Wisconsin Homeowner Liable for Neighbor’s Injuries Following Dog Attack
Posted on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 at 2:56 am
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of an individual who sued her neighbor following a dog attack. The defendant was a Wisconsin homeowner who allowed a man and his dogs to live in her home, an action that the court ruled constituted "harboring" the animals, making her responsible for the attack.
The woman's defense attorneys argued that she was not the actual owner of the animals and was not responsible for their actions, but the court deemed that her actions of sheltering the dogs made her liable for injuries they caused.
Animal attacks can cause serious pain and suffering, and may have lasting effects on a person's health. If you have been injured due to the negligent actions of a pet-owner, contact the Waukesha personal injury attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 800-242-2874 today.

Is talking on the cellphone as dangerous as texting while driving?
Posted on Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 at 4:25 am
In recent months, many lawmakers and other critics have come out against texting while driving. As numerous studies have shown, texting while driving significantly inreases the chance of a car accident.
The increased accident rate is largely due to the fact that the drivers are distracted when they text. Many drivers, however, do not realize that they put themselves at similar risk when they talk on their cell phones while driving.
According to some reports, while drivers are able to keep their eyes on the road while talking on their cell phones, they are somewhat distracted because they are performing two mental activities at once.
If you or anyone you know has been injured in an accident because of another driver's use of a cell phone, contact the Waukesha texting while driving lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
