Weather-Related Car Accident, Tippens & Zurosky Can Help.

Time, time, time…

Every Fall season, when we turn back the clocks the days instantly seem longer as we go to work when it is barely light out, and return home from work, and school activities as the sun is setting.  Likewise, traffic seems to have increased no matter where you live, and we seem to be rushing to get to the same old places we always go because even though we have turned back the clocks we are somehow more pressed for time.  But, don’t get caught in the time trap.

Give yourself more time in the morning to get your kids off to school, and yourself off to work.  At the end of the day when the sky is dark, pay a little more attention to your surroundings, and if you are passing a school, recreational park, or playground be extra cautious of children that may be playing, or practicing sports for their school, church, or club.  If you are travelling through a parking lot, take care to look in each and every direction to make sure you are aware of someone who might be going a little too fast because they ran out of time.

Daylight Savings Time also changes our work routines.  If you are working outside, you may find yourself racing against the sun to finish the job.  Take a deep breath and slow down as rushing may lead to an injury on the job that could cost you a whole lot more than time.  With the shortening of the days comes the cold weather, so be aware that the first frost may bring the hazards of ice, hard ground, and wind.

It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask…

When someone is hurt on the job, or injured in an automobile accident in North Carolina, or South Carolina, they usually have lots and lots of questions about their actual legal rights.  Usually, their friends, family, and coworkers are willing to offer advice to the person injured on the job, or hurt in an automobile accident.  But, as the old maxim goes—a little bit of information is dangerous.

Automobile accident laws, often called negligence, or tort laws, vary from state to state, and circumstance to circumstance.  What seems to be an insignificant bit of information might actually be crucial to the disposition of the case.  Listening to advice from a nonlawyer from someone “who has been through it before,” might have a detrimental effect on the claim.

In our experience, there is a great deal of misinformation folks can hear when they get injured on the job—sometimes this misinformation comes from their own family members, or employers!  Workers’ compensations laws are complicated and inadvertently saying the wrong thing, or listening to the person who is giving you the wrong advice could be fatal to your case.  It is crucial to speak with a qualified workers’ compensation attorney, if you are injured on the job to make sure you get the right information.
