Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, Georgia ERs see a spike in injuries from hanging lights, climbing onto roofs, moving heavy décor, and using ladders on uneven ground.

If you or a loved one is hurt while decorating—at your home, a friend’s place, or a short-term rental—here’s how to protect your health and your personal injury claim.

Between Thanksgiving weekend and early December, Georgia’s malls and big-box stores see packed entrances, slippery floors from rain, and carts moving in every direction. Most trips are uneventful—but when a store lets crowds bottleneck at the door, ignores wet floors, or understaffs cart returns, customers can suffer real injuries: concussions from falls, wrist and shoulder fractures from bracing, knee and back injuries, even facial and dental trauma. If you or a family member is hurt while holiday shopping, here’s how

“Low speed” doesn’t mean low risk. Parking lots and decks concentrate cars, pedestrians, strollers, carts, delivery vans, and rideshares in tight, poorly marked spaces—often with blind corners and dim lighting. Back-out collisions, angle-parking sideswipes, slip or trip hazards near wheel stops, and pedestrian knockdowns can cause concussions, herniated discs, shoulder and knee injuries, fractures, and lasting anxiety about crowded areas. If you’re hurt in a lot or garage, the steps you take in the first 24–48 hours can protect your

These crashes often start with a split-second swerve: you dodge an object and get rear-ended, or you hit debris and lose control. Even when the at-fault vehicle keeps driving, you still have options. Here’s how Georgia treats unsecured-load and debris collisions, and what to do in the first 24–48 hours
