Welcome to Summer
Memorial Day weekend is the traditional send off for summer fun. Our Lewis & Daggett family kicked it off with a firm cookout on Friday. Part of the fun was that the attorneys and management served the rest of the staff as a reward and treat.

As summer begins, it is probably a good time to consider some basics safety tips in order to make summer the best it can be for you and your family. As schools winds down and many of us have family activities begin, we encourage you to keep safety in mind.
Travel safety is a good place to start - we don’t want vacations ruined by a ca r accident. Make sure your vehicle is in good condition, tires properly inflated, and all maintenance up to date. Take frequent rest breaks when driving, and follow all safety laws and directions. Pay particular attention around construction and work zones.
Lawn mower injuries can be very serious, and many of those injured are young children. Every year some of the most serious injuries are to young children who were riding as passengers on riding mowers. Please do not allow young children to ride these powerful machines. Use extreme caution to always your keep fingers and toes away from moving blades. Lastly, always pick up toys, objects and debris before mowing to avoid injuries to yourself or others from flying objects.
When riding bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, and scooters always wear helmets and proper protective gear. Children should stay away from traffic and preferably ride on sidewalks or designated paths. Most of all, set a good example for children by always wearing a helmet yourself.
Sun and heat safety are many times overlooked. Remember to use sunscreen and cover skin as much as possible. Covering up and limiting exposure is particularly important for very young children. Remember when swimming to reapply sun screen and take frequent breaks from the heat. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and take breaks often in hot weather and during physical activities.
Let’s get this summer off to a safe, fun start for all of us.
