Our Douglasville Injury Law Firm Gets Into the Fall Spirit This Week

By Jack E. Clay

I have mentioned this week about the upcoming chili cook off in downtown Douglasville, Georgia as well as blogged about safety precautions for the upcoming Halloween weekend. I wanted to take a moment to show some pictures of our law office lobby decorated in celebration. We plan to use these same decorations for our cook off booth.

In continuation from my earlier post about traffic safety due to road closures, I read an interesting article about precautions to take as a pedestrian. The following is a list of suggestions to consider when out on the roadways this weekend:

1. Be sure to carry a flashlight or other reflective device if walking on Halloween after dark. Make sure your children's costumes incorporate this idea as well.
2. Make sure you and your children wear sturdy, supportive shoes to avoid slip and falls.
3. Follow all road signs and safety procedures, such as looking both ways before crossing busy streets.
4. It is a good idea to walk in a single-file line down the roads, rather than in a large clump. This will ensure the safety of your group.
5. Be careful of masks that may obscure your vision.
6. Always be a defensive pedestrian - be aware of others around you at all times.

I hope that all West Georgia residents enjoy this holiday and remember these safety measures to avoid an untimely accident. My office, located across the street from the Douglas County Courthouse, is available to take your call for a free consultation in the event that you or someone you know have been injured.
