Get ready for the biggest travel day of the year! Yes, gas prices are at a record high, but air travel is worse and with coronavirus risk significantly decreased, many drivers are expected to take to the road to get to their Thanksgiving destination. This means an increased chance of car accidents. Below are some risks to be aware of:

  • The Late Family—there’s bound to be extra cars and traffic jams on the way to “grandmother’s house” for the big feast. Those families who don’t build extra time into their schedule may be speeding and taking unnecessary risks to shave a few seconds off their trip.
  • The Overachiever—this driver left his home way before the sun was up so he could make the long 14-hour drive to his turkey spot in only one day. It’s likely as the sun is high in the sky (and possibly in his eyes) that he’ll start to nod off and may drift into your lane or worse, your car.
  • The Mom with Cranky Kids—taking her eyes off the road even for just a couple of seconds to send some more snacks or a new DVD into the back seat to calm fidgeting little ones is all it takes for an accident to happen.
  • The Grandpa that Shouldn’t Be Driving—lots of cars, quick lane changes and unexpected detours can shake up an older driver. Reaction times aren’t what they used to be, and when a hazard suddenly appears in front of them, they may not be able to make the necessary adjustments in time.
  • The Trucker Who Wants to Make it Home for Thanksgiving—everyone’s pressed for time and more frenzied at the holidays. This can lead to shortcuts on loading a truck or maintenance that may result in an accident.
  • Too Much Spiked Apple Cider—it’s a time of celebration, but sometimes drivers who’ve had too much of a good alcoholic beverage make the mistake of getting behind the wheel with devastating consequences.

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.
