Holiday Hazards: Why November & December Traffic Accidents Spike
Last updated Friday, December 12th, 2025
The arrival of November and December brings holiday cheer, but it also marks a dangerous spike in traffic accidents, motorcycle crashes, and commercial truck wrecks across the country. With kids out of school, visiting family and friends, and the massive surge in delivery trucks to meet holiday shopping demand, our roads become a minefield of risks.
If you or a loved one is injured, or tragically lost, in a holiday-related collision, you need an aggressive law firm ready to fight for justice. Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers is here to help.
The “Perfect Storm” of Holiday Accidents
The period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is statistically one of the most hazardous times to drive. Multiple factors converge to create this risk:
- Massive Traffic Volume: Millions of holiday travelers hit the roads, leading to increased traffic congestion on major highways and local streets. More vehicles simply mean more opportunities for car accidents.
- Commercial Truck Overload: The e-commerce boom means an unprecedented number of delivery trucks (including semi-trucks and commercial vans) are on the road. Tight deadlines push drivers, contributing to driver fatigue and trucking company negligence.
- Distracted and Impaired Driving: The stress of shopping, coupled with holiday parties, leads to a significant rise in distracted driving and drunk driving (DUI) incidents. Motorcycle riders, who often use the last warmer weeks to ride, are especially vulnerable to impaired or distracted drivers.
- Seasonal Weather: Even without major snow, wet or icy conditions during the late months increase the risk of slip and slide accidents and multi-vehicle pileups.
These negligence-driven crashes often result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, and heartbreaking wrongful death cases.
What to Do After a Holiday Collision
Being injured in an auto accident during the holidays adds financial stress to an already difficult time. The at-fault driver’s insurance company is focused on protecting their bottom line, not on your recovery. They may try to offer a quick, low settlement.
Do not talk to the insurance company without legal representation. You need an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands how to investigate the unique factors of a holiday traffic accident, from retrieving trucking logs to proving driver negligence or drunk driving.
