Staying Safe This Thanksgiving

November 23, 2022

Thanksgiving kicks off an extremely busy time of year for many Americans, marked by beloved traditions and, for some, quite a bit of travel. Whether you’re staying home this year or planning a trip for the holidays, it’s important to keep a few safety tips in mind so you won’t need the help of a personal injury lawyer later.

AAA expects almost 55 million Americans will travel during the long holiday weekend, and much of that travel may involve driving. Before going anywhere, you should be sure your vehicle has been inspected and is in good shape before you hit the road. Never drive if you’re feeling drowsy or fatigued after a big holiday meal, and definitely do not operate your vehicle after consuming alcohol.

You should also be aware that other drivers on the road might not be taking the same precautions as you are, and be sure to stay alert during your drive. If you do have the misfortune to end up involved in an accident this Thanksgiving, make sure to read up on what to do after an accident and get in touch with a car accident attorney without delay.

If you’re staying home for the holiday, there are different safety precautions you should be taking instead. For starters, if you’re having guests over for the Thanksgiving meal, make sure your property is safe for any visitors to avoid premises liability concerns.

While preparing a Thanksgiving dinner, keep any minors away from hot stoves or knives, and be sure your smoke alarms and appliances are all working correctly before any turkey, green bean casserole, or mashed potatoes start cooking. Follow basic cooking safety tips to avoid food poisoning or kitchen injuries, and keep a fire extinguisher close by in case of a fire.

In the event of a Thanksgiving-related injury or other incidents that might result in the need for an attorney, contact the expert personal injury lawyers at Phillips Law Group for assistance. We’ve seen it all, and won’t judge your turkey roasting mishap that involved a defective product, or that injury you got while you were out Black Friday shopping.

Stay safe this holiday, and happy Thanksgiving from the team at Phillips Law Group!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.
Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.
Jon Jamieson was amazing to work with . He came through with all of his promises.
The lawyers here are of top quality. Especially Trey Dayes, who was always respectful and hard-working.
I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
Sophia H is very helpful.
I would have no hesitation at all recommending Phillips Law Group. In particular, Juan Roque has impressed me with his professionalism, his integrity and his heart for the community!
