Personal Injury attorney Jeffrey T. Jones, founder of the Law Offices of Jeffrey T. Jones, and best-selling author of “Protect and Defend” says getting to and from our Thanksgiving Celebrations safely is something to be thankful for.

Charleston, WV, November 11, 2014: Personal Injury attorney Jeffrey T. Jones, founder of the Law Offices of Jeffrey T. Jones, and best-selling author of “Protect and Defend” has posted a new blog on his website entitled “To Grandmother’s House We Go and Come Home Safely, Thankfully.”  Thanksgiving is celebrated by most people with friends and relatives near and far. And, as Attorney Jones says, “Whether it is to grandmother’s house you go, or to a friend’s house around the corner, the most important thing to remember during the Thanksgiving Holiday is to travel safely.  Whether you are driving, flying, taking the train or walking you want to arrive at your destination and return home without incident, full of love and fond memories.

Jones advises patience and preparedness are important to safety. He writes, “Before setting out to grandma’s house, even if conditions are clear where you are, check weather conditions where you are going and along the route. If you are traveling more than 100 miles away conditions can be dramatically different. If you are traveling in an area that could have snow, sleet or icy conditions it’s always a good idea to pack an emergency snow kit even if you never use it.”

Being in a hurry leads to stress and makes one ripe for accidents. Jones encourages readers to “Take your time while traveling. Plan for heavier traffic than usual. And, if at all possible, leave a day early. Remember, don’t drink before you head back home. The police will be out in full force looking for drivers who have enjoyed Thanksgiving a little too much. Also, don’t eat too much turkey prior to driving. Everyone knows how the L-tryptophan in turkey makes us sleepy. That’s why those naps after Thanksgiving dinner are part of the holiday tradition..”
