When Plans Change: Protecting Your Rights After a Holiday Accident

The holidays are a time for family, reflection, and gratitude. The last thing anyone anticipates is a traffic accident. Unfortunately, the combination of winter weather, rushing to destinations, and distracted driving often leads to a spike in traffic accidents during the holidays. When another driver's negligence turns a festive occasion into a medical emergency, the physical and emotional toll can be overwhelming.

Accidents that occur during the holiday season present unique challenges. Insurance companies are often difficult to reach, and the stress of disrupted plans can make decision-making difficult. It is important to remember that bad weather does not excuse bad driving. Drivers have a legal duty to adjust their behavior to match road conditions. Speeding on icy roads, following too closely in heavy traffic, or driving while fatigued are all forms of negligence that endanger the public.
