Staying Safe During the Holiday Hustle



The holidays are a joyous time of year, but we’ve all read unfortunate stories about that joy quickly turning to tragedy as a result of an accident. As fulfilling as the holidays can be, the hard truth is that, when it comes to travel, they can also be quite dangerous. With more cars on the road and the weather turning treacherous it’s important to remember that, while you’re enjoying special occasions with friends and close family, to also stay safe. As a vehicle accident lawyer,  we care about your safety here at the law offices of Burg and Brock. To that end, here are a few things to keep in mind to avoid personal injury  this holiday season. 


Keep your eyes on the weather forecast. Though it’s tempting to dismiss inclement weather as an East Coast problem, even residents of Southern California aren’t completely safe from poor conditions. November and December can mean rainfall for Angelinos, and the roads will be adversely affected. Make sure to be weary of poor conditions. 

Statistically speaking, the most dangerous road condition is other drivers. Defensive driving is always a great skill to practice, but it particularly comes in handy during the busy holiday travel season. Stay vigilant, and keep your eyes out for erratic behavior from other vehicles because drunk driving is going to go up. Take care when you’re on the road, and if the unexpected does happen make sure you contact a top attorney in Los Angeles like Burg and Brock to protect your rights.
