Labor Day Safety: Protecting Yourself on the Road and at Gatherings

27Aug
Underage youth drinking and driving.

Labor Day weekend is a time to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the last days of summer. But with more people traveling, backyard parties in full swing, and bars and restaurants busier than usual, the risks for accidents rise significantly. Each year, this holiday sees a spike in car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and incidents tied to alcohol service, including Dram Shop liability cases where overserved patrons cause harm.

Underage youth drinking and driving.

Crowded highways, distracted drivers, and impaired judgment can quickly turn a celebration into a tragedy. That’s why it’s so important to plan ahead, stay alert, and understand your rights if something goes wrong. Whether it’s a drunk driver leaving a bar, a motorcyclist overlooked in traffic, or a pedestrian injured in a crosswalk, negligence should never go unchecked.

If you or someone you love is injured due to another’s carelessness, remember you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Our team is here to help you navigate the legal process and protect your right to fair compensation.

• Don’t drink and drive, plan for a sober ride.
• Stay alert and watch for motorcycles and school buses on the road.
• If you’re injured by a drunk driver, the bar or establishment that overserved them may also be held responsible under Dram Shop Law.
