The Green Bay Police Department has begun a new program to increase pressure on people not to drive drunk. The program will have police officers increasing their patrol in certain areas during the night hours because Wisconsin law does not permit sobriety check points. The Nightheat program received a funding award from Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD). Through Nightheat the funding award has been used to increase police patrols. Fighting drunk driving is a valuable initiative. If you have been affected by a drunk driver, contact the Lake Geneva personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C. by calling 262-248-5200 or by visiting our website.

A Wisconsin man might get up to 29.5 years for kidnapping, false imprisonment, and battery. The man allegedly sneaked into his wife's bedroom the day after she filed for a divorce. After bursting into her room, he jumped onto her bed and at knife-point forced to come with him. After beating and dragging her, he drugged her and forced into her car. The wife ended up escaping, and husband was later captured. Being beaten, kidnapped, and drugged is a traumatic experience. If you anything of the sort has happened to you, contact the Lake Geneva personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C. by calling 262-248-5200 or by sending them a message.

The Swiss government has raised the ski lift safety regulations in response to the worst ski lift accidents experienced during last year's ski season. The accidents from January were the worst since 1999. In 1999, hurricane-strength winds blew a tree across the gondola track which injured three and illed 2 people. The January accidents involved two separate ski resorts and had completely different accident types. The Alpine ski resort Grindelwald has replaced its cabling following a derailing last January that was the result of near hurricane force winds. Another accident in February at a nearby ski resort derailed a chair lift. It has been reported that 20 people had to be evacuated from that one accident. The accidents last winter left one German skier dead.  If you have been injured in a ski lift accident, contact the Lake Geneva personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier at 1-800-275-1729 to discuss your case and to determine yur legal options.
