Wishing You a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving from KBD Attorneys

Thanksgiving is a time to slow down, gather with loved ones, and reflect on the moments and people we’re most grateful for. At KBD Attorneys, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you — to our clients who trust us during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, and to the families and communities we serve year after year. Your resilience and strength are the reason we do what we do.

As we head into the holiday season, we also want to share a gentle reminder: while Thanksgiving is full of warmth and celebration, it also comes with seasonal risks that can lead to preventable injuries. A little awareness goes a long way in ensuring your holiday stays joyful and safe.

Holiday Travel: Stay Alert & Plan Ahead

Thanksgiving is consistently one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. Whether you’re driving across the state or just a few towns over, road safety is essential.

• Give yourself extra time — traffic is heavier, weather may be unpredictable, and rushing increases the risk of accidents.

• Avoid distracted driving — keep your phone away and focus on the road.

• Never drive under the influence — alcohol-related crashes spike during the holidays. Plan for a designated driver or rideshare if needed.

If you or a loved one is involved in a crash, know that KBD Attorneys is here to help protect your rights and guide you through the next steps.

Cooking Safely: Reduce the Risk of Fires & Burns

Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home cooking fires. With ovens, stovetops, and deep fryers working overtime, it’s important to:

• Keep children and pets away from hot surfaces.

• Never leave cooking unattended.

• Use turkey fryers outdoors, away from structures.

• Double-check that smoke detectors are working properly.

A safe kitchen means a peaceful, delicious holiday.

Slip & Fall Prevention: Make Your Home Guest-Friendly

If you’re hosting guests this year, small steps can help prevent injuries:

• Clear walkways of leaves, ice, or clutter.

• Ensure proper lighting around entrances.

• Clean up spills right away.

• Secure rugs and cords to avoid tripping hazards.

A welcoming home is a safe home.
