The 5 Most Common Holiday Personal Injuries

The holidays are generally a time of fun and cheer, but there are several injuries that are unique to the holiday season. Unfortunately, many things can go wrong when individuals are preparing for the holidays. However, individuals can keep the holiday season merry and injury free by understanding and attempting to avoid five common holiday injuries.

Candle Fire

Candles look beautiful as a decoration, but unfortunately they can also catch curtains and other materials on fire. Generally, lit candles should be watched closely and ignited away from flammable materials.

Moving Holiday Items

There are many heavy items that individuals typically lift during the holidays, such as presents and boxes of Christmas decorations. Any individual that acquires a back injury during the holiday season should seek medical attention and contact several personal injury lawyers in Utah who can help them understand if they are at fault, or if they have a personal injury case.

Dangerous Decorations

Many individuals use decorations to brighten up their indoor areas during the holiday season. However, electrical cords and other decorations can be damaged, making them dangerous.

Generally, individuals should replace their electrical decorations every few years. However, in the event one is harmed by faulty holiday decorations, they should immediately contact one or more personal injury lawyers in Utah.

Falling or Slipping

Although many individuals use ladders during the holiday season, they can be extremely dangerous. If one is going to place lights or decorations on a roof, it’s extremely important that their ladder is secured before they ascend.

Hot Holiday Beverages

Although many individuals enjoy holiday beverages during the holiday season, even the most unassuming beverages, like a pumpkin spice latte, can create serious personal injuries. When ordering or making beverages during the holidays, it’s important that an individual ensures that their beverage is a suitable temperature before they attempt to drink it.

Unfortunately, even the most cautious people can accidently spill a hot beverage. In the event a hot liquid harms an individual, it is important that they seek medical attention and contact one of Utah’s personal injury lawyers.
