Watch out for Negligent Drivers this Holiday Weekend

If you are planning on going out this holiday weekend, make sure to exercise extra caution especially if you plan on attending 4th of July events. Barbecues, fireworks and travel are all fun activities people all over Georgia enjoy on long weekends, but they can also lead to accidents and serious injuries. If an injury does occur, call the Atlanta personal injury lawyers at The Berry Law Group to find out more about your rights.

Barbecues and get togethers are a great way to spend time with your family and neighbors. But if a neighbor's deck is not maintained properly and a collapse occurs, you and your family could be seriously hurt or even killed. Similarly, beware of other drivers who may have decided to have alcohol before driving. These people may be impaired and can cause serious auto wrecks.

One big part of July 4th is the fireworks. Fireworks are fun to watch, but children should not be allowed near fireworks under any circumstances. Likewise, also be aware of defective fireworks or neighbors discharging fireworks inappropriately.

These are just a few dangers to look out for this weekend. Unfortunately, someone else's negligence can cause an accident that seriously injures you or a family member. If this happens, remember that help is available. The Atlanta injury attorneys at The Berry Law Group can help you get the compensation that you need after a serious injury.
