Drive Safely This Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving 2018 will be here before you know it!

Our personal injury attorneys at the Lake of the Ozarks are here to tell you to DRIVE SAFELY. Many people will be on the roads and it can only take a few seconds of distraction for something to go wrong. If you are injured in a car accident and need legal assistance getting fair compensation, call Phillips, McElyea, Carpenter, and Welch at 573-346-7231. Keep reading for a few safe driving tips to follow this Thanksgiving.
Have your vehicle checked before you drive it a long distance for Thanksgiving.
Take your vehicle into your local auto shop and have everything checked out. For example, they can check your oil to make sure it is at the proper level, your tires to make sure they have the correct amount of pressure, and your transmission fluid to make sure you have enough. Having your vehicle checked out ahead of time can save you a ton of car trouble while on the road on your way to an important family holiday gathering.
Pack road trip entertainment for your children.
Kids can get bored just sitting in a back seat for hours and they could possibly distract you from your driving. Avoid this by keeping them entertained with DVDs, card games, iPhone games, Kindle books, etc.
Secure your pets.
If you plan to bring your pets this Thanksgiving, make sure you secure them so they can't run throughout the vehicle distraction you from your driving. Look into pet car seats or place them in a kennel.
Pack snacks for the family.
Many restaurants will be closed for the holiday so be sure to bring snacks for your kids for the trip. Well-fed children can be less likely to distract you then hangry children.
Avoid distractions.
Keep off your cell phone, avoid eating while driving, do not smoke while driving, and most certainly do not groom yourself while driving. These are all good examples of things that can cause major car accidents.
Being injured in a car accident over the holidays can quickly result in unpaid medical bills, lost wages, and demands by insurance companies for your personal medical records and medical history. An experienced personal injury attorney at the Lake of the Ozarks can advocate for you and for your rights when you are least able to do so for yourself. We can also explore mediation and settlement as avenues that can start helping injured victims feel whole again. Call our law office in Camdenton for your free consultation today at 573-346-7231.
The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertising. When you need a knowledgeable attorney, we invite you to contact us to set up a consultation. Evening and weekend appointments are available. We have access to interpreters.
