DON’T RISK YOUR SAFETY THIS SPRING April Showers Bring May Insurance Claims
HOW TO STAY SAFE WHEN THE ROADS AREN’T Instead of taking chances on the road, here are a few ways to stay safe during April showers: • Slow Down: Wet roads increase stopping distance, so give yourself extra time.. • Check Your Tires: Good tread helps prevent hydroplaning. • Headlights: Even in light rain, better visibility protects everyone. Also, take a few minutes to review your insurance policy — it could save you major stress later. NOT ALL RISKS ARE WORTH TAKING. Some risks pay off. Holding out for a better settlement? May be worth it. Speeding through a downpour or driving without proper insurance? Definitely not. You also don’t want to risk handling the aftermath of an accident alone.

Risk and reward go hand in hand. Some risks can lead to life-changing rewards — like my father leaving Greece as a teenager (see cover story) or a client holding out for a bigger settlement. But not every risk is worth taking. One place not to gamble? Behind the wheel of a car. THE DANGEROUS SIDE OF APRIL SHOWERS. Spring weather is unpredictable and can create terrible driving conditions. Some drivers adjust, but many don’t. In fact, driving in the rain brings out a special kind of overconfidence. People act like wet weather doesn’t change anything — they fly through deep water, tailgate, and blow through intersections as if they could stop on a dime. But rain makes accidents more likely and more dangerous.
Even small mistakes can turn serious fast when roads are wet.
WHY YOUR COVERAGE MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH. Like driving too fast for the conditions, too many drivers also take chances with their insurance policies. As personal injury attorneys, we’ve seen this many times. Someone gets hit by a driver with too little or no insurance, and the person hit also lacks insurance or collision coverage, leaving them to deal with out of pocket car repairs or worse, a terrible injury with only the minimal recovery allowed by the law available. Without collision and proper supplemental uninsured/underinsured coverage, they may have no way to cover those costs. No one
