Here in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, we are experiencing very heavy rain fall that is causing an extremely high number of car accidents. I've been driving back and forth from Denton to Dallas for the last couple of weeks and I've seen a lot of car wrecks. Most of those were on rainy days. It seems like some people forget how to drive when it's raining. They are tense from nervousness. The heavy rains make for low visibility. Other cars are weaving in and out of traffic. Some people don't feel the need to slow down. Other people don't feel the need to speed up. And - Oprah would be very upset at the number of people who won't put down their phone, no matter how bad the weather gets. Texting while driving and talking on the phone are bad enough on sunny days, but on rainy days, even during horrible downpours - really???
Statistically, most auto accidents in Texas happen on clear and sunny days. That's not a surprise since most Texas days are clear and sunny. On those rainy days though, car accidents seem to spike. My advice to all drivers, especially on rainy days: slow down and pay attention to the road.
Looking down at the radio? Crash!
Talking on the phone? Crash!
Just have to send that text message? Crash!
Speed limits aren't for you? Crash!
Need to save 2 minutes by weaving in an out of traffic? Crash!
Surfing the web on your iPhone? Crash!
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash!!! Now what? Your hurt - badly injured. Your car's a wreck now. Since your hurt, you have to miss work. You call a personal injury lawyer to deal with the auto insurance and you need a doctor (not necessarily in that order of course). Don't you hope that doctor will work with your attorney? You sure better. Otherwise, that car wreck is going to be an even bigger hassle than you ever imagined.
In many cases, the story only gets worse from here. So, if you were crashed in a car wreck by an impatient or distracted driver, you need to give WOL+MED Medical a call in Denton and Dallas, TX. You may be in pain, but there's no reason the process of getting better should be an even bigger pain.

Choose WOLMED for your auto injury recovery. We take the pain out of the process and we want to be your doctor.
With that said - to all of you impatient and distracted drivers out there: slow down, put down your phone, and keep your eyes on the road.
