Attorney Thomas M. White Launches Bike Safety Campaign

The Steinberg Law Firm is launching their Bike Safety Event this fall in order to raise awareness of the perils of cycling while it is dark outside, and to provide resources for the prevention of bicycle accidents. This cause affects children, students and all cyclists in the Charleston area. Riding your bicycle during nighttime hours is dangerous, and there is potential to experience a serious personal injury, especially one involving the head and spine.

TMW 1 e1499698706943In an effort to help prevent personal injury, The Steinberg Law Firm will visit Charleston County elementary schools to distribute hundreds of blinking bike lights, helmets and other bike accessories free of charge. This will help make certain that all students and cyclists will be safely prepared for darker days when daylight savings begins on November 5th.

Attorney Tom White will also host a public event in the spring where cyclists all of ages can receive safety accessories free of charge.  The spring event will make for a fun family affair with speakers, music, food trucks, and a face painting booth. As an avid cyclist, he is very passionate about this cause. As a cyclist himself, he sees the rising liability, especially with the increasing numbers in our traffic (with over 50 families moving to the city a day, accident rates are up, and there are few bike lanes to protect cyclists). Tom saw an opportunity to give back, and that is how this came about. Attorney Tom White says “It is important for bicyclists to be well prepared and equipped with helmets and other bike accessories in the event of a motor vehicle accident, which can cause severe personal injury to bicyclists.”

Tom White spent his formative years in the textile-producing Upstate of South Carolina, and spent his summers working third shift in the cotton mills. As a result of that experience, he desired to help working people.

For the last 15 years, Tom White has been listed in Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers for Workers’ Compensation. He solely handles work injury cases, in which many injured workers are compensated amounts in excess of one million dollars.
