Walkers: Beware. If you are injured while walking, winning your case is very hard.

Contributory negligence is the law in Virginia.  The injured person must not have 'contributed' (done anything to cause) his own injury even in the slightest.  That law is very unfair to pedestrians.

I posted an article about a client we recently represented.  She was seriously injured when she tripped over a defect in a sidewalk that had been created and was known by the business owner. 

If you have been hurt while you were walking because of the carelessness of someone else, contact Weiner, Rohrstaff & Spivey, 703-273-9500 or email srohrstaff@wrsattorneys.com, or contact us through our website www.wrsattorneys.com.  We can advise you on your rights.
