It's Okay to be Scared!

Last week, we gave you some safety tips for Halloween, but now it's time to get a little bit more basic. After all, this holiday is a celebration of fear, and that's a good things as it tends to get a bit of bad rap the rest of the time. In any case, it's a good time to look at the upside of being afraid. 

First of all, as the offices of a top motorcycle accident lawyer, we can tell you that being truly without fear can have truly nasty consequences. While being paralyzed with dread is never a good thing, a little healthy, er, concern can make the difference between being in an accident or not being in an accident. Especially when you're riding a motorcycle, that can be a matter of life and death.

Not that driving an auto can't also be dangerous. Some people are so unconcerned about the possibility of being in a serious car accident that they fail to put on their seat belts. As vehicle accident lawyers, we are here to tell you that that kind of fearlessness can have truly horrific consequences.

Halloween night is a time when we find the fun in our fears, and that's a good thing. Life can be wonderful but it's also somewhat precarious by it's nature. It's always good to be able to control your fears and not let them control you...but you should still have them!

And, of course, if you're fears ever do come true and you need outstanding personal injury representation,  the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. are here to help. Best of all, only defendants are afraid of us!

Stay Safe While Enjoying Halloween Frights

Believe it or not, it's Halloween time yet again! A week from today, the streets of L.A. will be filled with fun ghouls and ghosts. At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc., we love the fun of the scary season, but as the ideal personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles, we know that if you don't practice safety, the fantastical fear of Halloween can lead to all-too-real injury or worse. That's why our personal injury is presenting these helpful Halloween safety tips:
 
  • Make sure your kids are wearing reflective tape on their costumes and bags before they head out in search of sweets. This helps drivers to see them well in advance.
  • Bring a flashlight while trick-or-treating. Even in the heavily populated L.A. area, some neighborhoods are not as well-lit as they should be - and Los Angeles sidewalks are notoriously hazardous - so bring a flashlight when you go out trick-or-treating with your kids.
  • Vehicle accident lawyer has represented many victims of negligence on the road, so he understands particularly well how important it is to drive slow and stay alert, especially on Halloween.
  • Whatever you do - DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. Call an Uber or Lyft, or travel with a designated driver while enjoying the creepy fun of Halloween.
