In this situation, call a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles right away.
Road trips - If you are planning a road trip, be sure to take steps to keep your family safe. Millions of people suffer injuries in traffic accidents each year in the U.S., and spending hours on the road can increase the risks of a crash. Always do the following:
- Familiarize yourself with the route ahead of time
- Stay organized with snacks and entertainment to reduce distractions
- Never keep driving if you are feeling fatigued
- Take your car in for a tune-up prior to leaving
Summer camps - Whether your child attends a day camp or sleepaway camp, injuries happen to campers on a regular basis. Camps involve many different types of games, sports, and activities, each of which comes with injury risks. If your child suffers injuries at camp, you should discuss what happened with a knowledgeable attorney to see if the camp may be held liable.
Recreational activities - Swimming, water sports, cycling, and other recreational activities often increase in the summer. People of all ages can suffer injuries during these activities due to defective equipment, hazardous facilities, the negligence of coaches or supervisors, and more.
