Summer is the season for sunshine, road trips and well-earned vacations—but it’s also a peak time for accidents and personal injuries. At Carabin Law, we’ve helped countless families deal with unexpected incidents during travel, and we know that preparation makes all the difference.

Whether you’re exploring the Texas Hill Country, hitting a theme park in another state or enjoying the coast, here’s what to know before you go—and how Carabin Law’s lawyers are here to help when things don’t go as planned.

What Are the Most Common Summer Travel Accidents?
Every year, we see a spike in summer vacation accidents, many of which happen because travelers let their guard down in unfamiliar surroundings. The most common summer injury cases include:

• Car accidents while traveling, especially on crowded highways or in rental cars
• Slip and fall injuries at hotels, resorts, pools or public spaces
• Recreational accidents, such as boating injuries, ATV crashes or jet ski accidents

When you’re away from home, it’s easy to assume everything is fine—but a minor slip, fender-bender or overlooked hazard can lead to major consequences. If that happens, Carabin Law’s injury attorney experts are here to step in so you can focus on recovery, not red tape.

How Can You Stay Safe Before Hitting the Road?

Summer travel safety starts before you even leave your driveway. Taking time to plan ahead can help you avoid stressful—and costly—mistakes during your trip.

✈️ Smart Travel Safety Tips from Carabin Law:

• Review your insurance. Make sure your auto, health and travel insurance are current. Know exactly what your policies cover—especially if you’re crossing state lines.

Prepare a legal checklist:

• Update emergency contacts
• Consider medical authorization forms for children
• Review or update your will or medical directives, if applicable

Document everything if something goes wrong. That includes taking photos of the scene, getting witness info and keeping all medical records and receipts.

And remember: not all states have the same legal protections. Our experienced team at Carabin Law understands the state-specific injury laws that can affect your case. We’re equipped to advocate for you wherever your vacation takes you.

What to Do If You’re Injured on Vacation
If you or a loved one is involved in an accident while traveling, stay calm—and follow these steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

• Document the scene thoroughly. Take photos and videos of everything: injuries, property damage, unsafe conditions and surroundings.
• Get medical attention. Even if symptoms seem minor, a medical report will be important later.
• Speak with a lawyer before dealing with insurance companies. Especially when dealing with out-of-state car accidents or hotel injuries, it’s crucial to get legal guidance before giving statements.

At Carabin Law, we offer free consultations, no matter where your accident occurred. You still have rights—even if you’re hundreds of miles from home. We’re proud to provide 24/7 legal support, so you’re never alone when you need help most.
