Did you know that most crashes occur in good driving and weather conditions? And, did you know that over two-thirds of nonfatal crashes happen during the daylight hours and in “clear” weather? We know that seat belts save lives! All occupants of a vehicle should be buckled up; all children should be in proper fitting car seats. Even when we take all the necessary precautions, accidents happen.
If you find yourself in an auto accident, it is important to be evaluated for any injuries as soon as possible. Some can be very subtle and not appear for weeks. Others happen immediately. Regardless of the extent of those injuries, the sooner you can receive treatment, the faster your recovery! If you find yourself in an auto accident, either as a driver or passenger, contact my office so we can evaluate you or anyone that may have been in the vehicle with you. As always, my goal is to help you feel better and get back to the quality of life you deserve!
In case you were wondering…
Over the last several years, Mankato has added many roundabouts. Although they seem frustrating to many, they do keep the traffic flowing, and more importantly, minimize injury if an accident does happen within one.
Here is why a roundabout works and how to navigate one:
