With autumn in full swing, many drivers overlook a common seasonal hazard: wet leaves. When leaves become saturated with rain, they create a slick surface that can be as dangerous as ice. This condition often leads to reduced tire traction, longer stopping distances, and an increased risk of accidents, especially when braking suddenly.

If you are involved in a crash caused by slippery road conditions:

✅Prioritize safety and seek medical attention if needed.
✅Report the accident to local law enforcement and document the scene thoroughly.
✅Avoid discussing fault at the scene; consult our team before providing statements to insurers.
✅Contact our team as soon as possible to understand your rights and explore potential compensation.

Fall driving comes with unique risks. Stay alert — and if the unexpected happens, our firm is here to help guide you through the legal process. Give us a call anytime.

As autumn sets in, safety risks tend to rise. In our experience, this season often brings an increase in slip, trip, and fall accidents. Wet leaves, rain, and earlier sunsets can turn everyday spaces into unexpected hazards.

Here are some of the most common causes of fall-related injuries:

➡️ Slippery sidewalks, driveways, and entryways
➡️ Tripping over uneven pavement, loose rugs, or clutter
➡️ Using ladders for seasonal chores

If an incident happens, being prepared is key. That’s why we’ve put together a quick checklist to help you protect your health, your rights, and your peace of mind after a fall.

If you or someone you know experiences a fall-related accident, do not hesitate to contact our team. We are here to help guide you every step of the way.

Car crashes remain one of the leading causes of death for children ages one to 13, but many of those tragedies are preventable with proper car seat use.

In honor of Child Passenger Safety Week (September 21–27), here are a few safety tips every parent and caregiver should keep in mind:

✅ Choose the right seat. Match the car seat to your child’s age, height, and weight. Use the NHTSA’s car seat finder if you’re unsure.
✅ Install it correctly. The seat should move no more than an inch at the base. Use either the seat belt or LATCH system, never both.
✅ Secure the straps. Straps should be snug with no twists, and the chest clip should be at armpit level.
✅ Don’t rush the transition. Each stage offers a different level of protection. Keep your child in their current seat as long as they meet the guidelines.

It’s always a good idea to get your installation checked by a certified technician — it’s often free and could save a life.

Stay safe on the road this September and every month. And as always, reach out with any legal questions or needs.
