AVOID CAR ACCIDENTS OVER THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Happy Labor Day! Are you planning a last-minute trip to enjoy the long holiday weekend? If so, you are not alone. Many families and couples will head out on Friday or Saturday to enjoy the weekend. The attorneys and staff of The Tiemann Law Firm hope you enjoy your weekend and have a safe holiday with family and friends.

Increased Risk of Car Accidents

Labor Day is a busy travel period each year. More vehicles will be on the road as families enjoy one last get-away at the end of summer. Because we want you to be safe, we offer the following safe driving tips to help you avoid a car accident this Labor Day Weekend.

  • Wear your seat belt every time you are in the vehicle. We cannot stress enough how important it is for you to buckle up. Studies show that wearing your safety belt can decrease your risk of severe injury or death in a traffic accident. Make sure your children are secured in a child safety seat appropriate for the child’s age, weight, and height.
  • Get a good night’s sleep before driving. Drowsy or fatigued driving can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Get plenty of rest before you drive to reduce the risk of an accident.
  • Leave early to allow for traffic. You know there will be more traffic on the roads. Leaving early helps reduce the feeling of being rushed.
  • Never get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking. Have a designated driver or use an alternative form of transportation (e. taxi, Uber, bus, etc.).
  • Allow more distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in case you need to stop quickly because of traffic. Tailgating can result in a costly and tragic accident.
  • Avoid distractions while driving. Having a passenger act as navigator and operate the GPS. Distracted driving is extremely dangerous at any time, but especially in heavy traffic situations.
  • If you encounter an aggressive driver or a driver with road rage, do not engage the driver. Put as much distance between you and the driver so he can just move on without incident.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
