Common Holiday-Related Injuries

Posted on Dec 7, 2016 5:04pm PST

While most of us spend the holiday season enjoying time with family and friends, many of us don’t realize that this time of year is also the most dangerous. In the midst of putting up decorations and attending various holiday functions, it can be easy to forget to take simple precautions to ensure you’re being as safe as possible this holiday season. In this blog, our Long Island personal injury attorney explains the most common holiday-related accidents and injuries.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Especially in areas that experience snowy and icy weather conditions, slip and fall accidents are among the most common accidents and injuries during the winter months. Although property owners have a duty to uphold to keep their property at a reasonably safe condition, some homeowners and business owners fail to tend to the upkeep of their walkways and entrances, which can be especially slippery and result in a slip and fall accident.

Burn Injuries

Lighting candles can create a warm and welcoming environment, but if you’re not careful, they can quickly turn into a fire hazard. Keep candles in sturdy candle holders and away from flammable holiday decorations and Christmas trees, as well as out of reach from children and pets. According to the National Fire Protection Association, Christmas tree fires are more fatal than typical house fires – one in every 34 reported house fires started by Christmas trees result in fatality.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Poor weather conditions can lead to an increase in accidents, but when icy roads mix with drunk drivers, the end result can be devastating. If you’re attending a holiday gathering and plan to be drinking, determine who will be your designated driver. If you find yourself involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver, and wish to pursue legal action for your injuries, you should contact a Long Island personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.

At Laurence A. Silverman, Esq., our personal injury attorneys have more than 40 years of combined legal experience and are available 24/7 to address your needs and concerns. Call (631) 925-2117 to request your case evaluation.
