Injury Prevention Resources
At The Franklin Law Firm, we not only demand that people be held accountable when they act irresponsibly and injure others, but we also work very hard to prevent future injuries through public awareness programs in our community. When irresponsible people cause harm to others, our community is made safer when they are held accountable for their actions. We can also all take some basic steps to help protect ourselves and our families from easily preventable injuries.
