Holiday travel drives more people out on the road than any other time of year. Between preparing and packing the staple Thanksgiving side dishes and wrangling the kids in the car, by the time you get behind the wheel, you’re likely already feeling the stress of the holidays. Then, once you pull out of your driveway, you have to share the road with hundreds of other drivers dealing with the same stresses as you.
BURNISHED POTATO NUGGETS
With more people racing to get to their Thanksgiving celebrations, the more probable accidents become. In fact, the statistics regarding vehicular accidents between the months of November and January are higher than any other time of year. While you can practice defensive driving to protect you and your family from other cars, you can also work to ensure you are dealing with fewer distractions in your own vehicle. Start by stowing your cell phone. Teenagers often receive the most blame for this habit, but texting and driving is one of the leading culprits for accidents involving drivers of all ages. If you need your cell phone for navigation or playing music, leave it to your passengers to help you. Additionally, if you are traveling with smaller children, you can help reduce some of the distractions by planning activities for the car ride. Bringing snacks, coloring books, or shows for them to watch, which lessens the amount of attention they need from you and allows you to focus on the roadway. That being said, sometimes you can remove all the distractions and take proper precautions to avoid an accident, but that doesn’t mean other drivers are doing the same. If you find yourself in a collision or injured by a distracted or impaired driver, call our office right away! Our team of expert attorneys will listen to your story, generate a plan, and help you get the compensation you need.
