GET YOUR KIDS BACK ON A SCHOOL ROUTINE DON’T HIT THAT SNOOZE BUTTON!

defective breaks, faulty tires, poor car design, or flawed airbags can all be possible causes for an accident that was out of your hands. Although clients often overlook product liability claims, they can lead to substantial compensation. The key is to work with an experienced attorney who can effectively collect the evidence you need to prove your innocence. Claims Against the Government Severe weather and unmaintained roads are a recipe for disaster. While no one can be responsible for heavy rain or snowfall, the government should ensure that all roads are safe. If you experience an accident due to dangerous roads, then it’s time to do some research. Have there been other accidents in that spot? Even if the roads are maintained properly, are they designed poorly? These are all factors to consider when determining whether or not the government is liable for your accident. You wouldn’t file a claim against the city in Georgia but the Department of Transportation instead.

Wind down earlier at night. During the summer, kids may be used to staying up a little later than usual. To mitigate this, have your children prepare for bed earlier at night. You could also start cooking dinner at the same time each day so your kids can begin forming a routine around dinnertime. This will help their minds and bodies acclimate to their new school nighttime routine. Incorporate education into their activities. School mode and vacation mode are drastically different — the last thing most kids want to do during summer break is learn. To help with this, have your child play educational games or watch a show, movie, or documentary that might expand their horizons. You don’t have to do anything grand for this; even reading for at least 10 minutes a day can help! Returning to a school routine will be difficult for the entire family, so show yourself and your kids grace during this time. Slowly implementing these steps into your end-of-summer routine will help you and your family be ready for the coming school year. To everyone going back to school, good luck with your future endeavors!

During the summer months, your child isn’t thinking about school. They’re focused on relaxing, staying up late, and sleeping in! So, naturally, it can be challenging for you and your kids to get back into a routine as the start of the school year approaches. If you don’t prepare for a school routine now, your children will spend the first couple of weeks (or even months) trying to adapt to the change, which can be detrimental to their learning.

Here are three strategies to try when helping your child get back into a school routine.

Our team often meets clients who think they are automatically at fault because no other drivers were involved in their accident. Truthfully, drivers are usually liable for an accident when their car is solely affected. However, a few other possible scenarios can occur with a cautious driver. If you can prove that you were not responsible for the accident and someone else was, you may have a viable case on your hands. Never assume you’ll always need to pay the bill after an accident. Practice morning habits. About two weeks before school starts, wake your kids up a little earlier than they're used to. Then, outline specific tasks they must complete before heading out the door. This could be making their bed, brushing their teeth, getting dressed, and eating breakfast. Doing this will instill good, responsible habits in your child and help them practice time management when school does begin again. WHY YOU MAY STILL HAVE A CASE AFTER A SOLO CRASH DON’T OVERLOOK OTHER LIABILITY CLAIMS

Product Liability Claims Did you notice that some parts of your car weren’t working correctly right before the accident? Was there any sign of mechanical malfunction? You may be able to file a claim against a car or car part manufacturer for product liability after a crash. For example,
