As families gear up for the new school year, our team wants to help keep students safe on their way to and from school. A few simple reminders can make a big difference in preventing accidents and injuries.
Walking to school:
• Use sidewalks whenever possible
• Cross at marked crosswalks and make eye contact with drivers
• Walk in groups when you can
Riding a bike:
• Wear a properly fitted helmet every time
• Ride with traffic and stop fully before crossing
• Choose routes with lighter traffic when available
Taking the bus:
• Stand several feet back from the curb
• Wait until the bus fully stops before boarding
• Avoid crossing in front of or behind the bus without making eye contact with the driver
Getting dropped off:
• Follow school drop-off procedures
• Obey school zone speed limits
• Never pass a bus that is loading or unloading children
Teen drivers:
• Buckle up, every passenger, every time
• Keep phones and devices put away
• Stick to the speed limit and avoid distractions
As a New Jersey personal injury law firm focused on motor vehicle accidents, we see firsthand how quickly unsafe conditions can lead to serious injuries. A quick conversation before the school routine starts can go a long way.
If you ever have questions after an accident or need guidance, we’re here to help.
