Richmond VA Invests Least in Pedestrians

In the last 15 years more than 76,000 American pedestrians have been killed, mostly children, the elderly and ethnic minorities. Most of these accidents happened on roads that were not designed for pedestrian traffic. People that get hit by cars often die and rarely escape serious personal injury.

Transportation for America has released a new study last Monday called Dangerous By Design that looks at ways to fix problems in pedestrian transportation infrastructure.

Richmond, VA was the most dangerous city in the commonwealth for pedestrians, ranking 24 out of 52 cities in the US with a population of a million or more. Richmond also spends less money than any of the cities on infrastructure for pedestrian and bicycle use.

This is easy to see in the Richmond area. There are many roads with no sidewalks at all and very few bike paths. It is no wonder that it is so dangerous to walk in Richmond. I frequently see pedestrians and bicyclists in the street because there is no where else for them to travel.

Instead of dumping more money into supporting cars, it is time to start thinking of alternatives. There are more people than ever looking for a different way to travel. It is time to sttart spending money on their safety.

If you or your loved one has been injured or killed in a pedestrian or bike accident then do yourself a favor and get some good FREE information from my new FREE book Accident Injury Book: Hidden Inside Secrets Big Insurance Companies Don't Want You to Know About Your Injury Claim.

Why tort reform is a bad idea | Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer

<p><a href='http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hiltzik1-2009oct01,0,7502095.column'>Tort reform is the healthcare debate's frivolous sideshow </a>.</p>               

A recent article in the LA Times shows the problem with tort reform and how the only people who really benefit from it are the insurance companies.

The insurance companies would love to avoid any sort of health care reform that might cut into their enormous profits and just focus the debate on tort reform.

I hear a lot about "frivolous lawsuits", but any lawyer would be a fool to knowingly take on a case he or she thinks is frivolous. The main reason being that most lawyers get paid on a contingency fee basis so that if the lawyer does not get a settlement for his client, then the lawyer does not get paid. That is the way we work, and most lawyers are the same.

Believe it or not, most lawyers are ethical and are trying to help people get money from insurance companies that do not want to pay a fair settlement to a person who has suffered real injuries.
