5 tips to avoid auto collisions this holiday season in Tampa Florida

Posted on December 22, 2011 by Blick Law Firm

Tis the season, and so is the season of crazed shoppers, party-goers and celebration. The hustle and bustle of each holiday season causes many to become distracted drivers. Risks for accidents tend to increase at this time due to busyness.

Here are a few tips to remember to keep you and your loved ones out of harms way:

1. Be mindful of Tampa Bay traffic. The interstate at this time is packed. Keep a safe distance to the car or motorcycle in front of you. Do not tailgate.

2. Be aware, especially at night, that other drivers may be impaired. Be on guard and pay attention to others’ driving abilities and be sure to avoid any unusual activity.

3. Do not text and drive. In recent news, Florida banned texting while driving. Be sure to follow the new law changes.

4. Do not speed. Excessive speed is a common result with accidents. Allow an extra fifteen to twenty minutes time for driving safely to and from your destinations.

5. Be in a constant defensive driving mode and be ready to react to sudden stops or changes in your surrounding environment.

This time of year is meant to be a celebration for many. Protect yourself and your loved ones as best you can. Read these precautions and alert.

Cyber Monday Shopping Safety

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Blick Law Firm

According to Bay News, holiday shopping is in full swing with Cyber Monday happening today until midnight.

To get the best deals, however, online experts said you need to watch your browser’s address bar closely to make sure you’re shopping safely.

Be sure to shop only on well-known retail websites, and don’t buy unless the website uses Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, encryption.

You can tell a website is SSL-protected by looking for the following in the address bar:

  • Web address begins with https:// instead of http://
  • Address bar shows a padlock icon at the end.

Here are some other do’s and don’ts from the experts at eCoupons.com:

DON’T “like” Facebook contests. That gives the owner of a page access to your profile. Liking a contest doesn’t mean you’re automatically entered. Beware of other social media offers that don’t look legitimate.

DO use credit instead of debit. You can always dispute a credit card charge, but a debit card won’t always protect you against fraud.

DON’T click on sponsored ads in search engine results that start with the retailer’s name with a different Web address below it. Those are typically phone websites.

If you get caught up in shopping online and your privacy has been breached contact Blick Law Firm today for assistance and get the legal representation you deserve. Think quick, call Blick. 813-931-0840
