Memorial Day Weekend is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

It is also one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. More vehicles on the road means a higher risk of accidents, especially with long distance driving, heavier traffic, impaired driving, and distracted driving all increasing during the holiday.

Simple precautions can make a major difference. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition, wear your seatbelt, avoid distractions, never drive under the influence, and stay alert in heavy traffic and construction zones. If you are traveling with family, plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time so you are not rushing.

At Glisson Law, we have seen how quickly a holiday weekend can take a serious turn. Staying cautious and prepared helps protect you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road. As always, we'll be available all weekend for free consultations.

What Is Hydroplaning? Hydroplaning happens when a layer of water builds between your tires and the road, causing your vehicle to lose traction. When this occurs, drivers can temporarily lose the ability to steer, brake, or control the car.

Common causes of hydroplaning include:
🚗 Driving too fast in wet conditions
🛞 Worn or underinflated tires
🌧️ Heavy rain and standing water
🛣️ Poor road drainage

Hydroplaning can happen quickly and often leads to serious accidents. If your vehicle starts to hydroplane:
✔️ Stay calm
✔️ Ease off the accelerator
✔️ Keep the steering wheel steady
✔️ Avoid slamming on the brakes

Simple precautions like slowing down in the rain and maintaining your tires can help reduce the risk and keep you safer on the road.

Worn or “bald” tires aren’t just a maintenance issue. They are a serious safety risk, especially as spring and summer driving picks up across Illinois and Missouri. 🚗☀️

As temperatures rise and roads get busier, bald tires can reduce traction, increase stopping distance, and make it easier to lose control, especially in rain.

In fact, it’s not just dangerous but can also violate the law. In Illinois, tires can be considered unsafe if tread depth falls below 2/32 of an inch or if the tire is worn to the point of being bald or exposing cords.
Missouri law similarly requires tires to have visible tread and rejects vehicles with tires worn down to the point where there’s no tread or exposed material.

Bottom line: bald tires increase your risk of an accident and could leave you liable if something goes wrong. At Glisson Law, we’ve seen how preventable issues like this can lead to serious injuries. Stay safe, check your tires, and make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead.

This afternoon, the Glisson Law team spent some time together out on the Delmar Loop for some team bonding, laughter, and a special (slightly late) celebration for our incredible administrative assistants. 💙

Today was about more than just getting out of the office. It was about appreciating the people who make our team what it is. Our assistants work tirelessly behind the scenes every day with compassion, dedication, and heart, and we’re so thankful for everything they do.

From great conversations to lots of laughs, we truly had a blast spending quality time together and growing even closer as a team. At Glisson Law, we believe the strongest workplaces are built on trust, support, and genuine connection. We’re proud to say we’re more than coworkers — we’re family.

That same family mindset is what we strive to give each and every client who walks through our doors: compassion, support, and people who genuinely care. There’s no better way to show that clients are a part of our work family without building that foundation within our team. Today was a beautiful reminder of how important it is to celebrate one another and the relationships that make all the difference. ❤️

Happy Birthday to Stephanie! She is the unstoppable powerhouse behind the scenes at Glisson Law! 🎉⚖️

Every great law firm needs someone who keeps the wheels turning, the chaos controlled, the schedules intact, and the attorneys mildly supervised (including Tim in the background)… and that someone is Stephanie. 😄

For years, she’s been the calm in the chaos, the problem solver, the organizer, and probably the reason everyone knows where they’re supposed to be. Her long tenure with the firm says everything about her dedication, patience, and ability to keep all the moving parts moving.

Stephanie, thank you for all you do and for the steady leadership and compassion you bring to the office every day. We hope your birthday is filled with cake, laughter, and absolutely no office emergencies! 🎂🥳

We’re just one day late, which still falls well within the “celebration window” Happy (belated) Birthday, Natasha! 🥳 We made sure to celebrate properly today because deadlines may be strict, but birthdays deserve flexibility. Hope your year is as organized and on-point as your case files!

Yesterday we celebrated a very special birthday for our youngest Legal Assistant, Chloe! 🎉 She keeps us organized, on our toes, and smiling all day long. We’re pretty sure the office runs on her vibes (and maybe some brownies from Duke Bakery, too). Happy Birthday, Chloe! Your future is as bright as your spirit, and we’re lucky to have a front-row seat. 💼✨
