Happy Labor Day from Graves McLain!

The attorneys and staff at Graves McLain wish you and your family a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend! Please enjoy your holiday weekend responsibly.

Labor Day is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. More cars and vehicles on the road mean that drivers face an increased risk of being involved in traffic accidents. During the long weekend, it is extremely important to be aware of your surroundings on the road at all times and drive defensively.

Here at Graves McLain, we encourage you to:

-Keep your phone stored in your pocket, purse, or glove compartment, and always have your eyes on the road. Distracted driving is a careless and negligent act that could lead to a fatal car accident.
-Wear your seatbelt for every trip. Seat belts save lives, and police officers will be on the lookout for those who are not buckled up.
-NEVER get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. If you are going out, designate a sober driver or call an Uber, Lyft, or taxi before you leave for the night. Drinking and driving jeopardizes the safety of you, your passengers, and those around you.

Please keep these tips in mind and have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!
