  Dog Bites Rise by 86% in Past 16 Years
Posted By Personal Injury Editor

A recent government analysis shows that recorded dog bites in the United States has risen 86 percent over the past sixteen years. In 1993 the total number of those hospitalized for dog bites was 5,100; in 2008 that number jumped to 9.500.

In a report released by the Department of Health and Human Services for Healthcare Research and Quality, the agency believes that 316,000 emergency room visits in 2008 were a result of dog bites. This means that the daily average for dog bites is 866 emergency room visits and 26 hospitalizations.

This data was culled from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Inpatient Sample that has information from about eight million hospital stays. As 4.7 million people are estimated to suffer from a dog bite in the US every year, these numbers are of some concern. However, the agency does suggest that a small number of these bites actually result in a hospitalization.

  Student Accused of Murder Facing Wrongful Death Claim
Posted By Personal Injury Editor

A young Canadian charged with murdering a fellow American student is now being slapped with a wrongful death lawsuit. Jared Britton, 23, has been charged with aggravated battery and felony murder of 22-year-old Bradley Simon. The victim's parents are now suing Britton, as well as a co-conspirator, the Long Jam Tavern and the bar's insurance company.

The basis of their lawsuit is that Britton and Jedidiah McGlasson harassed and battered Simon which led to his death. Since the tavern failed to provide a safe place for their patrons, they were also included in the lawsuit. At this time, however, none of these allegations have been upheld in the courtroom.

Britton was in the United States to play hockey for the University of Wisconsin-Stout and had been studying engineering before the tragedy occurred. He is believed to have shoved Simon from his bike, causing him to go headfirst into a cement wall. Simon died five days later as a result of these injuries.
