There seems to be too many bicycle and pedestrian injuries. Our recent blog on this issue prompted West Virginia attorney Jeff Robinette to consider the problem. Why are there so many of these accidents, and what can be done to protect the public? Mr. Robinette recently remarked that, “Whether they are outside with a parent, playing with friends, or walking alone, children are at risk for being hit by a car anytime they are near a roadway. Unfortunately, when children are hit by cars, they are almost always injured and sometimes are killed because of the negligent driving of an adult. In these cases, the driver often suffers nearly as much as the family of the child. Going up against an insurance company to fight for full and fair money damages for your injuries or financial losses is no easy task. Insurance companies often devote substantial financial resources trying to beat you down and frustrate you until you accept their low settlement offer.” For more information from Mr. Robinette’s article go to
