The holiday season is here—a time for celebration, togetherness, and creating lasting memories with family and friends. But amidst the joy and cheer, accidents and injuries can happen, turning a season of warmth into a stressful experience.
At Mory & Colliersmith, PLLC, we’re here to ensure that your holidays stay merry and bright by helping you understand how to protect yourself and your loved ones from common seasonal accidents.
Common Holiday Accidents
The holidays bring unique risks that many people overlook, including:
Car Accidents - With more people on the roads for holiday shopping, family visits, and winter getaways, the risk of car accidents increases. Distracted driving, icy roads, and holiday party alcohol consumption only add to the danger.
Slip and Fall Injuries - Slick sidewalks, icy driveways, and crowded stores are prime conditions for slip and fall accidents. Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe, especially during the winter months.
Dog Bites - Holiday gatherings can be overwhelming for pets, increasing the likelihood of unexpected bites or attacks. If you’re hosting or attending a party, ensure that pets are secured and guests are safe.
Shopping Injuries - Holiday shopping can lead to overcrowding, rushed behavior, and poorly maintained stores—all of which increase the risk of injuries.
Protect Yourself During the Holidays
While accidents are sometimes unavoidable, you can take steps to minimize risks:
Drive Safely: Avoid distractions, plan your routes ahead of time, and never drive under the influence.
Watch for Hazards: Be mindful of icy sidewalks, poorly lit parking lots, and crowded areas.
Host Responsibly: If you’re hosting a holiday gathering, ensure that walkways are clear and pets are secured.
Report Incidents: If you’re injured due to someone else’s negligence, document the incident immediately and seek medical attention.
