🍎 First Day of School: Slow Down & Stay Alert

The first day of school means more buses, flashing lights, young pedestrians and bicycles on the road. As everyone settles back into the school-year routine, drivers can help keep our community’s children safe:

🚌 Watch for school buses and flashing lights. Be prepared to stop and never pass a stopped school bus when its red lights are flashing.

🚲 Give bicyclists plenty of room. Children may be less predictable than experienced riders, especially near schools and intersections.

🚸 Look twice for walkers. Slow down near crosswalks, bus stops, neighborhoods and school zones.

📵 Put the phone away. A few seconds of distraction can have life-changing consequences.

When you're behind the wheel, remember that someone's child is counting on you to pay attention.

From all of us at Fessenden, Laumer & DeAngelo, PLLC, have a safe and happy first day of school!

Can I sue the insurance company instead of the person who caused the accident?

It's one of the most common questions we hear.

In this FAQ, Mary Schiller, partner at Fessenden Laumer & DeAngelo, explains why the person who caused the accident—not their insurance company—is typically named as the defendant in a personal injury lawsuit. While insurance may provide coverage for a settlement or judgment, the lawsuit itself is generally filed against the at-fault party.
