There was a story in the paper today about a man seriously injured in a Flint pedestrian hit and run drunk driving accident on February 7th in Genesee County. According to the Flint Police, a Flint pedestrian was seriously injured while he was standing on the side of the road reporting a hit and run accident he had witnessed at S. Saginaw and Damon Streets when he was allegedly struck by a car and thrown 40 feet. The driver fled the scene of the accident but later was allegedly found, allegedly intoxicated. The Flint pedestrian was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the pedestrian recovers from this accident without any permanent injuries or deficits.

We recently filed a nursing home neglect lawsuit in the Saginaw County Circuit Court for a client who suffered a serious bed sore in a nursing facility.  The patient was admitted to the nursing home for recovery after a cardiac procedure at a Saginaw hospital.  He had numerous risk factors for developing a pressure ulcer but was not provided the necessary preventive measures at the nursing home.

The patient was in the nursing home for less than fourteen days and was discharged home.  Shortly after discharge, a visiting nurse observed the pressure sore on his sacrum.  He was re-admitted to the hospital and required surgery due to the severity of the sore.  He also had a significant infection which caused a lengthy hospitalization.

The suit alleges that the nursing home staff and the nursing home doctor were negligent in their care of the patient.  It seeks damages for the pain and suffering caused by the bed sore and other similar type damages.  A claim for medical expenses and home care has also been made.  No trial date has been set by the court.
