[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This Sunday, most of America, including California, will adjust their clock ahead by one hour in the annual ritual known as ‘springing forward’ for Daylight Saving.\u00a0 There may be some confusion this year.\u00a0 Yes, California did pass Proposition 7 in 2018.\u00a0 Prop 7 allows the California State Legislature to permanently enact Daylight Saving Time (DST), but only if federal law is changed to allow for it.\u00a0 Federal law has not yet been changed, and until it does, we will still be springing forward every year.<\/p>\n
The Law Offices of Scott Warmuth is a law firm that handles personal injury legal cases<\/a>.\u00a0 Why are we talking about Daylight Saving?\u00a0 As it turns out, millions of sleep-deprived people driving to work simultaneously on Monday morning can lead to crashes.\u00a0 Research has indicated that the switch to DST leads to a noticeable increase of fatal auto accidents, about seven percent, on the following Monday.\u00a0 Research has also suggested that work injuries<\/a> are more prevalent in the days following the start of DST.<\/p>\n If you have to drive next week, be extra vigilant on the roadways.\u00a0 Be as well-rested as you can and pay extra attention to other drivers out on the roads. If you have the ability to get some extra rest and avoid peak traffic times, we would recommend doing so.\u00a0 On average, the switch to DST leaves people with 40 minutes of sleep deprivation.\u00a0 Anything you can do to lower that number is a good thing.\u00a0 Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday morning.<\/p>\n The Law Offices of Scott Warmuth has been helping the victims of car accidents recover from their injuries for 35 years.\u00a0 For a free consultation, call us today at 888-517-9888.\u00a0 We can help you seek medical treatment, fix your car, recover lost wages, and received financial compensation for your pain and suffering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Sunday, most of America, including California, will adjust their clock ahead by one hour in the annual ritual known as ‘springing forward’ for Daylight Saving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-auto-accident","category-workers-compensation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law888.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
