How to Keep Kids Safe This Halloween
Even fairly suburban neighborhoods see a lot of traffic around Halloween. Families might hop in their cars to check out all the spooky decorations or to cover more ground while trick or treating.

Life is as precious as it is unpredictable, especially in the modern world. For example, you risk serious injury and even death every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Earlier this month, one San Diego woman learned that even those who stay off the roads are at risk of being struck by a car. According to FOX5, a vehicle crashed into the bedroom of a home in Point Loma at around 5 a.m. on a Wednesday. The woman who was inside the house at the time sustained a broken nose and neck injuries, but responders believe she will make a full recovery.
If you could use a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, renting a boat for the day and taking your family out on the water is the perfect way to escape—as long as you use safe boating practices. Although most boating excursions are fairly uneventful, the consequences that arise when accidents do occur can be catastrophic.
When was the last time you took a good look at your vehicle’s tires and assessed their remaining tread depth? Since your car’s tires are in direct contact with the road, they play a significant role in protecting your family’s safety, but it’s easy to overlook their wear and tear until you get a flat or have to break suddenly and end up skidding across the pavement.
Resolving a personal injury claim can be a long and arduous process. In addition to recovering from your injuries, you also have to consider the legal aspects of filing a claim such as meeting deadlines, filing paperwork, gathering evidence, calculating damages, and negotiating with the insurance company.
NBC San Diego reports on a tragic multi-vehicle collision that resulted in one fatality earlier this month. The suspected DUI crash also injured six others including two children.
According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, 147 people died in alcohol-related collisions in 2012 over Labor Day weekend. Besides drunk drivers and heavy traffic, there are dozens of other dangers lurking over Labor Day weekend that can result in severe injuries.
If you live on the coast of California but you don’t have time to go boating as often as you’d like, you may be considering taking advantage of the upcoming Labor Day weekend by casting off with friends and family. Although nothing is better than cruising through San Diego’s waterways in the summer, a serious boat accident can ruin your weekend faster than you can say “Happy Labor Day.”
Drunk driving is a serious problem around the country, and the state of California is no exception. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 10,000 people died in drunk driving collisions in our state between 2003 and 2012.
