Having represented  catastrophically injured German bikers, it is very important that there  be a stenographer present for the December 6th Court case.  Virginia  General District Courts are &#8220;Courts NOT of <!--more--> Record.&#8221;  This means that  they do not provide their own Court reporters, so if the Defendant  trucker changes his story later, there is no proof.  This can be very  frustrating.  At the <a title=\"landau law shop web site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.landaulawshop.com\" target=\"_blank\">Landau Law Shop<\/a> we almost always make sure that a  court reporter covers our clients&#8217; Traffic Court cases, so that if  someone tries to change their story; the police officer or other  witnesses relocate; or an appeal is taken, we have everyone&#8217;s  statements, under oath and can undertake prompt, thorough investigation  of the facts of the bike and motor vehicle crash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information, read <a title=\"Cyclists Circle 'Round Injured German Rider - Roanoke Times\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roanoke.com\/news\/roanoke\/wb\/300015\" target=\"_blank\">the story in the Roanoke Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia bikers sent me word of a German biker struck by a truck and now on life support at Carillion hospital in Roanoke.
