Avoiding accidents on Halloween
Every year some family will need the services of a Charlotte injury lawyer because of one of the many accidents that happen on Halloween night. The combination of so many children in the streets and so many cars on the road on a night that is given to revelry is a recipe for danger. During this time of the year, parents and children are putting together Halloween costumes; and to be honest, the emphasis for creative and fun costumes can overshadow the importance of safety.
The costume should reflect light - Playfully frightening Halloween costumes often involve lots of dark fabric. If your child wants a costume that consists of all dark colors, without any bright colors, insist on reflective stickers or tape on their clothing.
The costume inhibits mobility - If a costume makes it hard for your child to walk or run, this becomes a potential hazard. Some costumes can be extraordinarily bulky, thus, making it harder for your child to keep their balance. This makes it easier for your child to tip or fall over and sustain an injury.
Adult supervision is crucial
It is advisable that adults coordinate, and take a group of children together, as larger groups are easier to spot. It is recommended that one adult travel in front of the group while another brings up the rear.
