48.7 Million Expected to Travel for Thanksgiving

Injury Lawyer Serving Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield & Surrounding Areas in Colorado

 

AAA estimates that 48.7 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more for their Thanksgiving celebrations this year. The 2016 Thanksgiving travel forecast represents a 1.9% increase from last year and could make November 23^rd – November 27^th the busiest, travel-wise, since 2007. If you plan on taking to the road during this time, please be sure to exercise caution by:

• Avoiding all form of distraction
• Refraining from alcohol consumption
• Giving yourself extra time to get to your location

89% of this year’s Thanksgiving traffic will be vehicular. AAA estimates 43.5 million Americans will use a personal vehicle exclusively to get to their destinations. With this increase in traffic comes an increased risk for serious or fatal injury, making the care you take while driving all the more important.

You can help avoid causing a car accident this Thanksgiving weekend by driving intelligently. You cannot make others do the same. If you are injured by a negligent or careless driver over the holiday weekend, Boulder car accident lawyer Christopher Jeffress is here to take your case, fight for your rights, and help you secure every penny you are due.

Thanksgiving should be a time of celebration with family and friends. When a careless motorist takes that celebration away from you, you are entitled to hold him or her accountable and seek compensation well beyond the initial offers made by insurance companies.
