New York offers a variety of opportunities in which you can enjoy a holiday parade; however, a good time can quickly turn into a serious accident. By being prepared ahead of time, you and your family can reduce the risk of being injured.
5 Safety Tips While Attending a Holiday Parade
The following are 5 safety tips for attending a holiday parade in New York:
- leave valuables (such as wallets and purses) at home;
- make sure everyone has contact information (name, address, phone number) on them, in the event you’re separated;
- keep a close watch on your children when on or alongside a parade route;
- don’t dart into the street to catch candy or other items; and
- be observant of your surroundings.
While parades offer great entertainment, they can also lead to injuries. Whether it’s a vehicle, another person, or any other part of a parade, accidents sometimes happen. If you or a loved one was seriously injured because of someone else’s careless or reckless actions, then you may be eligible to file a claim. A Brooklyn personal injury attorney will evaluate your case to determine if you have a legitimate claim. They can also help with collecting evidence, completing paperwork and other aspects of what can be a very complicated process.
