Wisconsin has a deep tradition when it comes to running.
Runners can be found on various gold courses/ cross country
courses, to trails, off road areas, sidewalks, country roads,
and tracks. Whether it's the Madison Marathon, Crazy legs
5k, or Monona 20k, runners across Wisconsin and in our State's
capital come out in force. Unfortunately, similar to bike collisions, drivers often daydream, text, or generally don't watch where they are going, leading to a collision with a runner. Runners are obviously most susceptible to injuries because they have no protection. As a result they are often seriously injured and may have head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. When a runner is injured by a car, he or she should seek a lawyer who is familiar with the Wisconsin pedestrian laws and the effect an injury has upon an athlete. Although each individual is important and should receive fair compensation for his or her injury, athletes often suffer more because they are unable to particpate in their usual activities. Just as a person who makes $100,000 a year will suffer more in loss of wages than someone who makes $30,000, a person who exercises six times a week suffers more harm from an incapacitating injury than a person who does not exercise at all. Attorney Clayton Griessmeyer is a fellow athlete familiar with Wisconsin pedestrian laws. He competes in running races from cross country 8k's to 2 mile road races to marathons throughout Wisconsin and California. |
