Don’t let your good times be sabotaged by injury.  One bad fall, accident or car wreck can leave you will long term injuries and financial woes that are difficult to recover from. So stay healthy and safe so you can enjoy Spring and Summer in  complete comfort. Here are a few tips to help prevent personal injury during spring break:

Travel During Nonpeak Hours: Starting your travel a few hours earlier than the rest of the pack can help to reduce your risk of heavy traffic and accidents. It is also a good idea to plan to miss rush hour traffic at your destination as well.  Timing and planning your route is crucial to safe travel.

Choose More Remote Destinations: Selecting travel destinations that are off the beaten path and less crowded can be much safer. Often times more people and large crowds can increase your risks for falls and injuries. 

Select Activities Wisely: Windsurfing, bungee jumping and hiking all sound great, but can be dangerous if your body is not physically up to the task.  Be realistic about your fitness and athletic prowess so you don’t subject yourself to the risk of unnecessary injury.

Summertime Safety – Preventing Injuries & Reducing Risks

Summertime brings fun, sun, barbecues, road trips and more. With so much excitement going on, sometimes safety can take a backseat. It’s important though to be aware of some of the safety risks that are a part of summer fun so you can take precautions to help minimize your risks. Here are a few safety tips you may want to consider:

ONLY VISIT SAFE WATER AREAS: Who doesn’t like a refreshing swim or soak on a hot summer day?  You and your family need to keep safety in mind though when you decide to visit any local pool or lake. Make sure there are trained life guards on duty, you have a life vest or flotation device to use and never leave children unattended. 

READY YOUR CAR FOR THE ROAD: Summer road trips aren’t so fun if you suddenly find yourself broken down on the side of the road. Be sure your car is tuned up, tire pressure is checked and you have emergency food and water before you hit the road for a summer getaway.

STAY HYDRATED & COOL: So many people get sick, and even die from, heat exhaustion. If you spend a lot of time outdoors during the summer months, staying hydrated and taking breaks is imperative.  The body loses so much fluid when you spend time in the blazing heat, so drink lot of water throughout the day.  Also, give your body lots of opportunities to periodically cool down as well. 

Enjoy the summer and all it has to offer, but do it safely.  If you happen to be injured this summer by no fault of your own, call The Foster Firm. We specialize in personal injury and worker’s comp claims. We’re always here to help and believe in protecting your rights.
