Mark your calendars for June 10 as well to view a partial solar eclipse! You may want to camp out in the yard to catch the early morning eclipse, which should be visible just after sunrise. STAY COOL BY SPLASHING AROUND. The Dickerson family loves to hit the pool in the summer, but another great way to have fun with the kids while beating the summer heat is to head to a local splash pad. There are several awesome splash parks in the Kansas City area, so it’s worth doing some investigating to find the best one near you. There’s a great roundup on iFamilyKC.com’s website. Just search “kids splash pads.” With so many great local options, you’re sure to find a few new activities you and your family can enjoy without going far from home this summer.

getting behind the wheel while impaired or into a car with an impaired driver. While we should all encourage and follow these simple positive habits, it’s an unfortunate fact that not everyone on the road will follow them. When that’s the case, we’re here to help. Many of our clients have also been victims of unsafe conditions leading to falls. The NSC notes that in 2019 more than 8 million people received emergency room treatment for fall-related injuries. Many of these injuries occur due to unsafe conditions that property owners and business owners should address. Here at the Dickerson Oxton Law Firm, we see the far-reaching impact of these preventable injuries. In addition to pain and suffering, when our clients have been injured, they often face undue stress and mounting medical bills. We strive to ease that burden by fighting to get our clients the compensation they deserve so they can focus on getting better. For more safety tips and information visit NSC.org. If you’ve been injured and want to see how we can help, reach out to our team today.
