15 Items to Pack in a Car’s Emergency Kit

November 28, 2016/in /by damg20

It’s easy to resolve most breakdowns with a spare tire or a quick call to a tow company. But what if you don’t have cell phone service? What if someone suffers an injury that requires immediate first aid?

Safe driving

In 2014 alone, the American Automobile Association responded to more than 29 million calls for roadside assistance. If you own a vehicle, then you should expect to break down or crash at some point, and when that happens, it pays to be prepared. Your vehicle should be stocked with a first-aid kit and everything you need to prevent subsequent accidents.

Unfortunately, even the most prepared drivers can fall victim to negligent motorists. If you were injured or lost a family member in a car accident, contact Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates.

The at-fault driver may be liable for your medical bills, lost income and other damages related to the crash. A San Diego accident attorney from Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates will help you claim the maximum compensation.

Call 855-290-8080 to schedule a free initial consultation. You can also learn more about personal-injury lawsuits by visiting USAttorneys.com.

Never Hit the Road without These 15 Essential Emergency Items

Every second counts after a serious accident. If you are able to contact emergency medical services, perform first aid and secure the scene after an accident, then you may be able to save your life or someone else’s life.

It is not uncommon for a routine breakdown to turn into a devastating accident. This is particularly common when drivers stop on the shoulder at night and do not have flares or reflective triangles to warn oncoming drivers.

Be prepared for the worst by keeping these emergency items in your vehicle at all times:

  1. A fully charged cell phone;
  2. A complete first-aid kit;
  3. At least one spare tire;
  4. A tire jack and tire iron;
  5. A tire inflater with sealer;
  6. Jumper cables;
  7. Your vehicle’s manual;
  8. A fire extinguisher;
  9. Three reflective triangles to warn oncoming drivers about the accident scene;
  10. Bottled water;
  11. Blankets;
  12. At least 2 quarts of oil;
  13. Updated road maps;
  14. A flashlight with extra batteries; and
  15. A small toolkit that includes screwdrivers, pliers and a tire pressure gauge.

If you were injured in a crash that another driver caused, contact Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates. An injury lawyer in San Diego will evaluate your wreck to determine if you have grounds for a claim.

I first retained the services of Jeffrey Estes about 20 years ago. I have referred friends and coworkers to him. They've all been very happy with the outcome due to the great service and the tremendous financial compensation. I highly recommend Jeffery Estes & Associates for your personal injury attorney. Do not settle with insurance companies without Jeffery and his team's representation.

Had an excellent experience with Jeff. He helped me through a personal injury case that I had where I was injured in a car accident. He did an excellent job preparing me for the trial and representing me. His professionalism is top notch and he's genuinely nice and easy to connect with. He was able to win the case for me and got a judgment much higher than I had even imagined which has been absolutely life changing. I would recommend him to everyone looking for services he provides.

I'm very pleased with my representation of Attorney Estes! He represented me in a profession manner, and was able to litigate my case out of court. I would totally recommend Attorney Estes should an accident be involved, especially caused by another person and they have done your bodily harm and totaled your vehicle.

Mr. Estes is both professional and down to earth. He took the time to explain things to me and was always there when I called. I am forever in debt to him for what he did for me winning my automobile accident lawsuit. The compassion that he showed for me made me feel like I was part of his family and I cannot say enough good things about him both as a human being and an attorney.
