The Outcome : Were it not for the negligence of the driver, our clients’ mother would be alive today. The defendant knew that by failing to control his speed, he put other drivers at risk. Yet, he chose to do so anyway. This directly resulted in the loss of life, and hurt a family that will never completely heal from these traumatic events. While we cannot undo this hurt, our attorneys set out to ensure as many of these wrongs were put right. That is why our firm exists — when someone has been wronged, we stand up to speak on their behalf. It is not just to address the injustice suffered by the injured and deceased; we also fight for the families and friends who are impacted and mourning for their loved ones. Garcia & Ochoa are here to fight for you and your family, no matter what injustice you may face. O ctober is Fire Safety Month, which means this is a great chance to review fire safety at the office, at home, or both. Here are a few helpful tips on how to keep your home and workplace safe by minimizing fire hazards. Keep Fire Extinguishers Close Fire extinguishers are great tools to use if a small fire breaks out at home or at the office. Be sure to know how many are in a building and that they’re inspected every month by a proper inspector. It’s also important that, before you ever need to use an extinguisher, you know how to use it. If you’re unsure of your ability to use one, get out of the building and call 911. Know Your Exits In a workplace, it is essential to know the emergency exit routes and to have these routes posted up around the facility. An emergency exit plan is also essential to have at home. Be sure to talk with your family about the appropriate routes to take (and where you will safely meet up outside) if a fire does occur in your home. Tidy Up Old letters, a pile of blankets, old pens, heaps of laundry, toys, and stacks of books are all the types of clutter that are usually a source of fuel for a house fire. Household clutter allows the fire to burn, gain ferocity, and spread far more quickly. Additionally, clutter can impede — or even prevent — timely access to an exit. Take the time to keep your home and workplace as clean as you can. Pick a Smoking Area Whether you’re at work or at home, designating a smoking area can be exactly what you need to prevent fires. By designating a spot outside — in the backyard, on the porch, or at the back of your office building — you can take precautionary measures to prevent a fire. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand in those areas and be sure to provide the materials needed to safely extinguish a cigarette.
