Neuroscience & trial strategy expert Robyn Wishart has a new job — Owner at Brain & Spine Law, in British Columbia, Canada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reading about his friend Robyn Wishart’s bike crash case<\/a>, Herndon bike injury lawyer Doug Landau noted that Wishart said it often takes four years or more for the parties to be ready to get a court date.<\/p>\n

Wishart, one of the best lawyers for brain injuries in Canada, noted that generally, injuries must heal before setting a trial date.\u00a0That may be the case in Vancouver where she practices, however many permanently injured clients of Landau’s firm, Abrams Landau Ltd.<\/a>, never fully heal, and sometimes several surgeries are required to treat the harms caused by the careless driving of the defendants.<\/p>\n

According to Landau, Virginia courts do not require injured cyclists to wait until they have reached “maximum medical improvement” before instituting a lawsuit, or even trying their lawsuit before a jury.\u00a0In fact, at the Abrams Landau Law Shop, we have tried cases where the treatment was still underway, and a long-term outlook was anything but certain.<\/p>\n

According to lawyer Landau, “It should not be for the defendants to have the use of the money while the innocent plaintiff suffers.”<\/p>\n

If it is a situation where the treatment of the injuries might cost between $73,000 and $89,000, Landau asks the jury for an amount to cover $89,000 in medical bills, medication, and future care. That is because, in United States, the plaintiff cannot appear before the jury a second time.\u00a0The jury has to get it right for the Virginia biker this one and only time. There is no second time where they can render a verdict for additional damages.<\/p>\n

By bringing a case in a timely manner, with doctors who can educate the jurors and judges as to what would likely to be in the future, there is no reason to delay a trial. Bringing an injured bike rider’s case to court promptly allows the members of the local community to render a verdict that is just, fair, and without undue delay.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know has been involved in a bike accident in which you were injured and there are questions as to what laws apply, email<\/a> or call Abrams Landau, Ltd. at once (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
