As the school season begins, roads get busier—and the risks for accidents increase. Whether you're a parent, student, or motorist, safety around schools should always be a top priority.
At JRJ LAW we want to help reduce preventable injuries by reminding everyone of a few critical safety tips.
Tips for Kids:
- Use sidewalks and crosswalks—never jaywalk.
- Avoid distractions: No texting or headphone use when crossing roads.
- Wait for the signal before crossing and always look both ways.
- Exit school buses safely, and never walk behind or in front of the bus.
Tips for Motorists:
- Slow down in school zones—speed limits are strictly enforced.
- Watch and listen for school buses: Always stop when their lights are flashing.
- Stay alert near crosswalks and obey crossing guards.
- Avoid distracted driving—a split-second glance at your phone can lead to tragedy.
If a child is injured due to a negligent driver or poorly maintained school property, legal remedies may be available. At JRJ LAW we advocate for accident victims and their families to ensure accountability and fair compensation.
Let’s make this school year safe for everyone!
