New York Personal Injury Lawyer’s Tips to Stay Safe This Super Bowl Sunday

Posted in Personal Injury and tagged by Ken Wilhelm

Super Bowl Sunday is coming up fast. There is no question that it is one of our country’s most anticipated and entertaining national sporting events. It is a time when friends and families gather to socialize and watch the big game, the halftime show and of course, the commercials. In addition to all that, Super Bowl Sunday has also become one of the nation’s most dangerous days on our roadways due to drunk driving.
If You are a Party Guest
Crashes caused by impaired driving can be prevented. There are several steps those who are hosting or attending parties can take to ensure that everyone has a good time and gets home safely. If you are going to attend a party, make sure you designate a sober driver before the party begins and give that person your car keys. Avoid drinking too much alcohol. Make sure you get enough to eat and alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks. If you do not have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home or take a cab. Avoid taking the subway or public transportation. Walking while intoxicated can be as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.
If You are a Party Host
If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party this weekend, please remember that you can be held civilly liable if someone you serve alcohol to ends up in a crash. Make sure that all your guests have a sober designated driver or help arrange ride sharing. Serve plenty of food and make sure you have non-alcoholic beverages available at your party. At the third quarter of the game, stop serving alcohol. Instead, serve coffee and dessert. Have numbers for local taxi companies handy in case someone needs to use them. If someone is intoxicated, please take his or her car keys away.
