Oklahoma has passed a new law declaring daycares must have liability insurance to open their doors.  Daycare liability insurance would help the family of children who come to harm under the supervision of Oklahoma daycares.

They have named this law Demarion’s Law, after a little boy named Demarion Pittman.  Last year he was left in a hot car, and suffered heat stroke and brain damage while under the care of an employee of the daycare.  He had a temperature of over 115 degrees when they found him, and stayed in a coma for over two months. Medical expenses, not including emotional and physical strain on the family, for the boy are over one million dollars, and will of course increase as the he grows older. 

Oklahoma, Texas, and 28 other states have passed similar laws to keep daycares in check and to help the families who suffer from the irresponsibility of daycare providers. 

If you or a family member has been affected by the negligence of a daycare provider contact the Madison lawyers Habush, Habush & Rottier or call (608) 255-6663 to get the legal representation you need.

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information about a hit and run car accident that happened August 25 at 8:15pm.  Wendy Sime and her brother Ronald were driving a Jeep Cherokee that evening, when out of the blue, they were rear-ended by a Chevy Blazer. The occupants of the Chevy Blazer fled the scene of the crime, leaving poor Wendy and her 16-year-old brother strapped into the seats of their wrecked car.

Although one suspect is still at large, Tyler M. Miller, an occupant of the Chevy Blazer, was located nearby with serious injuries from the crash.  Miller is 19 years-old from Stoughton, WI, and was transported to UW hospital where he is being treated for his injuries.

A Palm Beach resident who chooses to go by Elizabeth M. is in the process of filing a medical malpractice lawsuit again the hospital where her hernia operation was preformed in 2004. She claims that while she was recovering in the hospital, her wound was never changes or even checked. Even after she developed a serious staph infection, she claims, her doctors continued to dismiss her concerns. She eventually ended up in another hospital’s emergency room, receiving surgery for an abscess in her abdomen. Today she remains too weak to physically exert herself in almost any way.

36 year old Carolyn Black, a resident of Columbia, SC, was injured late on Saturday night after her car was struck by a drunk driver. According to police, Alexi Edis Bertotty had a BAC of .13 at the time of the accident - nearly twice the legal limit. Although Black is in relatively good health now, her niece, who was also in her car at the time of the accident, remains in intensive care. Black says she would like to see stricter enforcement of drunk driving laws in her state.

She may get her wish. Beginning this week, her county’s highway patrol will begin running a series of public service announcements to remind people of the dangers of driving under the influence. Hopefully this well help reduce the frequency of this thoughtless and dangerous crime.
