Protect Yourself From Injury During the Holiday Season | Personal Injury Firm

The holidays bring so much joy, fun and of course travel! During all the hustle and bustle, accidents and injury are bound to happen. Whether it is during shopping, driving or outdoor fun you never know when an accident may occur. No one wants their holidays to be ruined by injury.  Here are a few tips that can help you protect yourself from injury during the holidays.

PREPARE FOR HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES: Sledding, skiing and other outdoor fun are often a part of the holiday season. Being prepared with the proper safety gear, receiving proper instruction and choosing a safe location are all imperative to your safety.  

DRIVE DURING WAKING HOURS: Tired drivers are dangerous drivers. Even though it can be tempting to leave in the middle of the night and drive straight through to your destination to avoid traffic, it may not be the best decision. You need to be alert and focused when you are driving. Be sure you are well rested before you hit the road.

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR DECORATIONS: Outdoor decorations, holiday light and Christmas trees are often part of the holiday festivities, but be safe with them. When using ladders, be sure it is sturdy and have a spotter. Be sure your tree is stable so that is doesn't fall over and keep it watered to prevent fires. Make sure any decorations inside or outside the home are not obstructing walkways. They should also be very secure as not to easy fall or shift, which could lead to injury.

Tips For A Safe Holiday Season | College Park Attorney

We are proud to serve the Metro Atlanta community and want to wish everyone a joyous holiday season. We hope that your holiday season brings merriment, joy and family bonding.  As you celebrate the season and bring in the New Year, please be safe and cautious.  Here are a few tips we would like to share with you to ensure that your holidays go off without a hitch…

HAVE DESIGNATED DRIVERS FOR CELEBRATIONS: Drinking and driving is a serious issue during the holidays and can have deadly consequences. Be sure that you or anyone else you are with does not drink and drive. Georgia offers safe ride programs that you can take advantage. Check out saferideamerica.org for more information.

FIND A SAFE LOCATION TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR: Be sure that you surround yourself in a safe environment with friends and family you trust. Don’t expose yourself to unsavory areas or people. Also, make road travel as minimal as possible as drunk driving increases for this holiday. 

SHOP WITH A PARTNER: Shopping is a big part of the holiday season and unfortunately so are robberies.  Shop during daytime hours, park close to the door and have 1 or 2 people with you. There is safety in numbers.  Also be mindful of your surroundings inside and outside of the stores. Is anyone following you? Is your purse and wallet secure?  Does this store have cameras and security?  These are all questions you want to have top of mind.

We hope these tips will help ensure that your holidays are safe and pleasant. Enjoy your holiday season and have a wonderful New Year!
