Preventing Auto Accidents in the Summer Months

Massachusetts auto accidents occur with alarming frequency. With the sweltering summer temperatures fast approaching, it is important to realize that higher roadway surface temperatures mean increased tire blowouts. Here is a post provided by Phoenix Personal Injury Lawyer Randall S. Udelman on this very topic:

In the summer months, check the tire pressure in your cars or trucks as often as possible. Each time you purchase gas, check your tire pressure. Also, you should check your tire pressure in the morning before the heat sets in. This is particularly true because when the summer temperature rises, air in your tires expands and increases pressure. On the door of newer vehicles, you will find language from your automaker recommending certain pressure in “pounds per square inch” which should be measured before the tires heat up. Another safety tool requires affirmative action every time you get into a car. Generally, wearing your seatbelt minimizes risks of major injuries.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
