Fresno Law Firm Issues Winter Driving Safety Recommendations Amid Hazardous Road Conditions

The Wagner Law Group, a Fresno-based personal injury law firm with over 30 years of experience representing car accident victims, has issued winter weather driving safety recommendations as the 2025-2026 rainy season begins. The firm emphasizes that simple precautions can significantly reduce accident risks on hazardous Central California roadways like HWY 99, Interstate 5, HWY 80, and HWY 50, where hundreds of fatalities occur annually.

According to guidance from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration referenced by the firm, fundamental safety measures include reducing speed and increasing following distance during inclement weather. The Wagner Law Group notes these basic adjustments represent the most effective strategy for accident prevention, as avoiding collisions entirely remains the best protection against injury or death.

The firm's accident and injury attorneys have observed numerous collisions resulting from impaired visibility, making proper windshield wiper maintenance another critical safety consideration. Additionally, motorists should account for decreasing tire pressure as temperatures drop, which affects vehicle traction and handling. Proper tire inflation represents an easily overlooked but important safety measure during winter months.

For vehicles that become disabled on roadways, The Wagner Law Group recommends maximizing visibility through emergency flashers and supplemental lighting devices like LED flares. Maintaining emergency supplies in vehicle trunks can prove crucial during extended waiting periods for assistance. The firm has recovered over $300 million for clients through its personal injury practice, which includes wrongful death cases involving families who have lost loved ones in preventable accidents.

Beyond its personal injury specialization, The Wagner Law Group serves as California's premier prison sex abuse attorney, having represented numerous FCI Dublin prison sex abuse victims. The firm also handles employment matters and wildfire-related cases, though its current seasonal safety focus addresses preventable roadway incidents. Motorists involved in collisions caused by others' failure to observe winter driving precautions can contact the firm through its toll-free Accident Hotline at (833) 200-7111 for complimentary consultation.

The Wagner Law Group maintains its offices at 1111 E Herndon Ave #317 in Fresno, California 93720, with additional contact available at (559) 449-1800. Their comprehensive safety recommendations and legal services address both accident prevention and post-accident recovery for Central California residents facing hazardous winter driving conditions.
