Winter Driving Safety Tips:

Brake gently, and when driving on slippery surfaces like ice or snow, use light pressure on the accelerator pedal when starting.  If your wheels start to spin, le up and the accelerator until traction returns.  Remember that bridges and overpasses can freeze before the roads do.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s lack of care-or negligence-you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries or other damages.  Don’t hesitate to reach out to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.  Call the attorneys at Ringstad Law Office, P.C. to see how we can help.
