Parking lots seem like one of the safest places for pedestrians: slow speeds, full attention, well-lit spaces. But distracted driving is actually more common in parking lots than on the open road.

Many drivers text or check their phones, assuming the lower speeds make it less risky. It doesn't. Even at low speed, an SUV or pickup truck can cause serious injury, and parking lot pedestrian crashes can be fatal. https://bit.ly/4xbQJYq

Organizations such as the AARP Foundation offer tools designed to help individuals and families assess the risk of social isolation and identify available community resources. Awareness is often the first step toward meaningful intervention.

Regular contact through phone calls, visits, or community engagement has been shown to meaningfully reduce feelings of isolation among older adults. Community transportation programs and volunteer driver services can also help address a significant barrier: access to the activities and appointments that support ongoing social connection. https://bit.ly/4qHIvFu

Did you know many injuries occur in the retail industry due to slips, trips, and falls on slippery floor surfaces or in cluttered walkways? To avoid these injuries, a bit of caution can go a long way. After the fall, it is important to record the names and contact information of any witnesses. Have someone photograph the area before the danger is cleaned up. Check for surveillance cameras and question store employees about obtaining a copy of the videotape. And finally, give us a call to see if we can help. https://bit.ly/3mWgf3k

Withdrawal from social activities, loss of interest in hobbies, and increased confusion are recognized indicators of social isolation. Families are encouraged to take these signs seriously rather than attribute them solely to aging. https://bit.ly/4i5bxgl

Social isolation and physical safety risks are closely linked for older adults. Seniors who live alone may lack a support system to notice missed medications or delayed care following a fall or medical emergency, factors that can significantly affect health outcomes. https://bit.ly/3SVWiMp

Teen drivers are more likely to be involved in a car accident than any other group. So it's a good idea to sit down with your teen and discuss what they should do to protect themselves and others BEFORE a crash occurs:

1) Stay calm, and don't drive off.
2) Check everyone in the car for injuries.
3) Turn on hazard lights and move the car to a safe place – or if not drivable – get everyone out of the vehicle and out of traffic.
4) Call 911.
5) Call a parent.
6) Know where insurance and registration documents are stored.
7) Collect information from the other driver but do not accept blame.
8) Seek medical attention.

And if your teen IS ever injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, we're ready to answer your questions: https://bit.ly/2V4QVN0

Research published in JAMA has found that social isolation and loneliness are associated with approximately a 50% increased risk of developing dementia. The connection between social engagement and cognitive health continues to be an important area of ongoing study. https://bit.ly/4gxk1Kt

Retirement, the loss of a spouse, and reduced mobility are each associated with an increased risk of social isolation among older adults. These transitions often remove daily sources of contact and connection, and their combined effect is frequently underestimated by families and caregivers alike. https://bit.ly/4zKbOvh

We don’t take trust for granted. This client’s review is a good reminder of why we fight as hard as we do:

"After getting injured at work, I went to see a workmans comp neurologist-it was an awful experience. I was not able to get any scans or treatments that were needed. That was, until I started working with Eric Polinsky. Then things started to change, I was able to see an independent neurologist, and within a couple weeks I was able to see the appropriate doctors and get the scans needed. Eric has been my biggest advocate. Without his representation and help, I don’t know where I’d be. I cannot express my gratitude for all of his hard work. The Polinsky Law Group is an amazing team of hardworking, knowledgeable, professional and dedicated individuals. I highly recommend this firm for any workmans comp related injury. I am very happy with the representation and my final outcome."
