Tyson daughter’s death begs for child safety resolve
Again, tragedy has struck down an innocent child — and again, the tragedy was avoidable. Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter has died, a day after strangling on a cord left dangling from a treadmill at her Phoenix, AZ home.
The treadmill wasn’t turned on, but clearly the cord was still dangerous. Normally such [...]
‘Wonderful’ pit bull attacks Pittsburgh Steelers star’s son
Often the key to fixing a problem is to overcome denial. That’s why AA members confront their demons and proclaim themselves alcoholics, rather than pretending they’re just social drinkers. But many pit bull owners are different. While the canine carnage continues, they’re in denial, ceaselessly ranting that pit bulls are wonderful dogs and why don’t [...]
Dog bite attack? Unleash a dog bite lawyer for everyone’s safety
Americans love their dogs. But can you love your dog too much, by allowing him or her to run loose?
A leash? Too much trouble. Spot’s just going outside with me while I get the mail — big deal. Besides, he’d never hurt anyone — at least until that first time.
But that first time could put [...]
A salmonella lawyer eyes food poisoning’s “smoking gun”
When an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning struck thousands of Americans last fall, federal investigators spent months seeking the proverbial “smoking gun.” In short, they spent months trying to pinpoint the origin and responsibility of an onslaught which sickened and even killed.
First they targeted tomatoes, and eventually jalapeno peppers, then Serrano peppers. Finally the “smoking [...]
Dog bite attacks spur dog bite lawsuits
Many dogs are friendly — even law-abiding. But many other dogs are aggressive – some of them so much so that they can kill.

Whether an ATV, UTV or ROV, a Yamaha Rhino accident can be deadly
Millions of Americans enjoy the rugged thrills of riding the little go-getters known as ATVs. But if you’re one of them, do you know what you drive? Is it an ATV — an all terrain vehicle – or perhaps a UTV, a utility terrain vehicle? And do you have legal protection if such a vehicle [...]
First Texas prison sentence given to owners of attacking dogs
Last month, a Michigan woman was sentenced to 15 years in prison when four of her bulldogs got loose from her property and, without provocation, attacked and killed two people. This week, such justice was applied for the first time in Texas.
A couple who live near Breckenridge in North Central Texas has been convicted and [...]

The woman had a horse farm on her property, about 45 miles west of Detroit, but the fence surrounding [...]
Boy loses his arm after pit bull attack
It’s often said that “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist” to understand certain things. In Houston, we fully embrace that concept, given the fact that our city does, in fact, have rocket scientists. But people in Houston or anywhere can appreciate a no-brainer, and one is that pit bull dogs — while not always dangerous [...]
Pit bull dog bites are no laughing matter
Pit bulls are no laughing matter. Unfortunately, some people think it’s funny to inflict pit bulls on others, and they don’t see why everyone shouldn’t find the same twisted humor in them.
Take comedian Andy Dick – please. He reportedly tried to check in at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas last weekend while accompanied [...]
