Most Common Turkey Day Accidents to Avoid
2
Thanksgiving is one of the most joyful and
anticipated times of year when people and their
families get together to have loads of
fun. However, for many, Turkey Day brings more
pain than joy (literally), as Thanksgiving is
also one of the most dangerous holidays for a
number of reasons.

That huge and heavy turkey
For some people, carrying and lifting those 25-
or 30-pound (or more) turkeys may be a risky
endeavor, as bending and lifting puts a mammoth
amount of stress on the lower back, particularly
for those who do not perform physical activity
and who dont keep their posture straight when
carrying and lifting a hot, heavy turkey pan.
4
That risky oven and turkey fryer (burns and
fires)
You may have carried and lifted a turkey without
getting injured, but your journey has only just
become. In fact, the second you open your oven to
put the turkey, you expose yourself to a series
of potentially hazardous factors.

Also, wearing loose clothes increases the risk of
your clothes catching fire when cooking. It would
be a good idea to ask your family or friends with
getting the turkey out of the oven, as thats
where many Thanksgiving accidents occur (and ruin
the holiday) in Ventura County and elsewhere in
California.
6
That dangerous knife (knife wounds)
Now that the turkey is out of the oven, once
again, dont rejoice just yet. There are still
plenty of hazards. Its time to cut the turkey
into pieces! When carving the turkey, keep your
fingers away from the knife, as you certainly
wouldnt want to lose your fingers this year.
Most of the times, getting distracted is what
causes carving-induced knife wounds when slicing
turkey and other foods.
7
That undercooked or contaminated turkey (food
poisoning)
Ventura injury law firm's experienced personal
injury attorney in Oxnard warns that even though
you have managed to finish your plate and your
belly is now full of turkey and gravy without
getting injured (though you may be bloated, this
is very common on Thanksgiving), beware of food
poisoning.
