Immediately after an automobile accident occurs, you are often bombarded by adjusters and claims representatives for insurance companies seeking information concerning the accident.

These insurance companies are not out to help you – they are there to minimize your claim and protect their own exposure. You cannot trust insurance companies in this situation.

While there is no fool-proof way to avoid an accident, our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey car accident lawyers believe that there are many steps you can take to improve your chances of arriving at your destination safely:
1. Avoid Distractions
While driving, you should remain focused on the road and be watching for potential hazards. Distractions like children, conversation with other passengers or on your cell phone, playing with the radio, and eating can all limit your ability to react to any obstacles that arise.
2. Stay Alert
Driving while you are tired is never a good idea. Your reaction time is slower, making your chances of getting into an accident much greater. In addition, if you are sick, you should take extra precautions while driving to remain aware of all that is going on around you and your vehicle.
3. Stay Relaxed
If you are angry or upset, put off driving until you have had time to cool down. If your emotions are out of control, chances are your driving will be too. Having a clear mind allows you to pay better attention to the road and make calm, logical decisions.
4. Look and Listen
It is important not only to watch the vehicle in front of you, but also to be aware of the vehicles around you and behind you. In addition, you should continually scan the roadway for potential hazards. Listening for warnings like sirens, horns, or screeching tires can also help you avoid being involved in an accident.
5. Prepare for Delays
Rushing to be somewhere is one of the most common factors leading to accidents. It is important to prepare for delays like traffic, accidents, road construction, and other factors. Allow yourself plenty of time to reach your destination so that you are not putting your safety on the line.
It is important to remember that the trial lawyers at Sheridan & Murray are on your side. Heeding these simple precautions can help you avoid becoming a statistic.
