The holidays are a busy time. We travel for family get-togethers, we gather for office or work celebrations, we go from store to store shopping for gifts.

The holidays are here. Time for holiday cheer and celebration. It’s also a time when the risks for having an accident increase. Knowing what some of the potential injuries and accidents are may help you avoid serious injury this holiday season.
Night time driving is a must for anyone who works second and third shifts as well as for those who are taking care of day-to-day activities or who just want to enjoy the evening with family and friends.

Distractions also can take a pedestrian’s attention away from his or her surroundings, leading to serious injuries from a fall or stepping into traffic.
