Sudden cold snaps can cause unexpected, dangerous driving conditions.
February may bring Valentine’s Day plans, but winter weather in Texas is not always finished. Sudden cold fronts can still cause freezing rain, icy roads, and dangerous driving conditions.
Valentine’s Day weekend will have an increased risk of car accidents.
Valentine’s Day is a time for dinner plans, date nights, and spending time with people you care about. Across Texas, many people head out in the evening to restaurants, bars, concerts, and hotels. With more drivers on the road—and more alcohol involved—the risk of car accidents increases.
Children are especially vulnerable on Halloween night.
Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year for kids. From dressing up as their favorite characters to collecting candy around the neighborhood, it’s a time filled with fun and adventure. But while children enjoy the thrill of trick-or-treating, Halloween also brings serious safety concerns. In fact, it’s considered one of the most dangerous holidays for young pedestrians.
Missed work due to an injury can be included in PI claims after an accident if certain conditions are met.
Key Takeaway:
Yes—if you can prove the accident caused your injury, that your injury kept you from working, and the amount of income you lost, you may be able to recover lost wages in Texas.
Pedestrian accidents are more likely during warmer months.
As summer brings longer days and warmer weather, more Texans head outdoors to walk, jog, cycle, or simply enjoy the sunshine. But with more people on foot, there’s also an increased risk of pedestrian accidents.
Some spring cleaning injuries are the result of negligence.
Spring cleaning is a tradition that dates back centuries. It marks a time of renewal—a fresh start and a clean slate, both literally and symbolically. As we clear away the clutter of winter and prepare our homes for warmer days, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of deep cleaning and forget about safety.
Rain causes more inclement weather accidents in Texas than any other weather event.
Despite the calming sound of rain, car crashes and fatalities tend to rise during wet weather. Heavy downpours can quickly flood roads, reduce visibility, and make it harder for tires to grip the pavement.
Always get checked out by a medical professional after a car accident.
If you don’t seek medical care immediately after an accident, it could prevent you from receiving compensation for an injury discovered later.
Avoid common distractions while driving on Valentine’s Day.
As love blossoms in the air in February, you’re probably planning to spend time with friends, family, loved ones, or yourself. Either way, setting a date night or booking a trip is a sweet gift. Yet, as you rush or are thrilled toward your destination, spread love through driving without distraction.
