How To Have A Safe Vacation

As the summer vacation season approaches and thoughts turn to fun in the sun, getting on an airplane or even camping. Did you know one in five people suffer an injury while on vacation? Food poisoning is the most common way people get hurt on vacation (CDC.com).  Car or bike accidents are second, and skiing accidents are third. We all want our family vacations to go perfectly, but even with the best intentions, things can happen.  Ticket mishaps, delays, schedule changes, auto accidents, and more can cause your vacation to be ruined.
