Motorcycle Accident Injures Deputy in First Lady’s Motorcade

On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Thursday, October 21, 2010.

We comment on many personal injury cases that occur around the Milwaukee metro area and throughout Wisconsin, but rarely do the incidents involve high-profile individuals. However, according to a news report by TMJ4 Milwaukee, a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s deputy was injured in a motorcycle accident while riding in first lady Michelle Obama’s motorcade. Milwaukee County Sheriff’s officials reported that a 35-year-old deputy, who has over 9 years of service under his belt, suffered non-life threatening minor injuries in motorcycle accident involving a Milwaukee Police motorcycle officer while escorting the first lady in her motorcade. Reports expressed that the motorcycle accident occurred just after 1:00 p.m. last Wednesday.

The accident occurred at 17th Street and Clybourn after the first lady spoke in downtown Milwaukee at a fundraiser for U.S. Senate Democrat Russ Feingold at Milwaukee’s U.S. Cellular Center. According to reports, the sheriff’s deputy was treated at a local hospital for his injuries. The other Milwaukee Police officer was unharmed in the motorcycle accident. At the time of the accident, the first lady was stopping at Miss Katie’s Diner at 19th and Clybourn for a surprise visit when the motorcycle crash occurred.

New reports did not detail the current condition of the injured sheriff’s deputies’ condition but doctors reported that his injuries were minor and non-life threatening. Interestingly, no news reports provided exact details of the motorcycle accident, for instance, how the crash occurred.

Milwaukee Personal Injury Attorneys Watch Case of Teen Arrested After Car Accident Involving Police

On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, August 4, 2010.

A 17-year-old Milwaukee boy was arrested after causing a car accident involving Milwaukee police while driving a stolen vehicle. The boy is being accused of stealing a motor vehicle and hitting a Milwaukee police officer paroling the area on a bicycle near the 2800 block of North 38th Street around 10:30 p.m. last Thursday.

Just prior to the crash, the officer and his partner on bicycle patrol decided to approach a vehicle that had been continuously sounding its horn. As officers approached the vehicle, the boy seemed extremely nervous. As officers attempted to speak with the boy, he drove away, striking one of the officers and dragging him several feet with his vehicle. As the car drove away, the other officer fired a shot at the vehicle attempting to disable the vehicle. The driver was not hit by the shots.

Following the car accident, the unoccupied stolen vehicle was found about six blocks away from the scene which occurred near 38th Street and Hadley Street. The Milwaukee officer struck by the vehicle, a 32-year-old man, was treated at a hospital for non-life threatening injuries and was shortly released thereafter, according to Lt. Thomas Welch of the Milwaukee Police Department Criminal Investigation Bureau.

The 17-year old boy was later arrested at a local hospital while there being treated for a knee injury. According to news reports, the boy had a warrant for escaping from a juvenile facility. The boy has admitted to his role in this incident.

It is not yet known of a a Milwaukee personal injury attorney has been contacted.
