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.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

Here's the thing... Nobody really thinks much about lawyers until they need one.  Well, we needed one!  The Tieman Law Firm came through for us in a big way. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and had excellent staff as well.  Highly recommended...

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.

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.
