11-year-old-Devon-Smith-crushed-by-tree

 

On April 13, 2008 11-year-old Devon Smith was playing with his friends when a large tree collapsed under it's own weight and landed on him. Devon was crushed by the tree and pinned to the ground.

Neighbors rushed to his aid after his playment informed them of what happened. He was discovered with blood running from mouth and nose and his body was twisted and bent. It seemed at first that he was already dead.

A neighbor used a car jack to lift the tree and he was pulled to safety. He regained conciousness and began screaming. He was rushed to Childrens Medical Center where he is now listed in stable condition.

Devon's mother claims that the landlord knew that the tree had been damaged by lightning several months prior and allegedly had made a decision not to remedy the dangerous situation allegedly stating that the tree would last another five years in it's broken state. The landlord denies the statement.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
