Statistics on Pedestrian Accidents on Halloween are Downright Scary

Halloween is a time for kids to have fun dressing up like ghosts and ghouls, but some statistics about Halloween safety are much more frightening than any costume or haunted house. Halloween safety is an important topic, and now is the best time for parents to have a serious conversation with their kids about trick-or-treat […]

Published on October 25, 2016

Halloween is one of the most dangerous times of the year for pedestrians. Children trick-or-treating with their friends on Halloween may not always practice proper pedestrian safety. Kids can get excited, dart out in the middle of the street or simply cross without looking both ways. Kids often make mistakes when it comes to safety, which means it is up to drivers to make sure that they slow down, avoid distractions, and prevent tragic pedestrian accidents from occurring this Halloween.

Here are some scary statistics about the dangers faced by children on Halloween:

October is one of the deadliest months for traffic accident fatalities. In 2015, October accounted for the third-highest number of motor vehicle accident fatalities
Over 70% of Halloween pedestrian accidents occur away from an intersection or crosswalk.
Children between the ages of 12-15 account for nearly 1/3 of all pedestrian fatalities on Halloween.
Drivers between the ages of 15-25 are the most likely age group to be involved in a Halloween traffic accident with a pedestrian.

At Daggett Shuler, we want to help raise awareness about proper Halloween safety so that everyone in the Piedmont Triad can enjoy the holiday and get home safe. Please:

Drive cautiously
Slow way down in residential areas
Watch out for trick-or-treaters
Avoid distractions like texting, eating or adjusting the radio
NEVER get behind the wheel if you have consumed any alcohol.

If we all follow these steps, we can help reduce accidents during Halloween in the Piedmont Triad!

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Olivia Winston

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workers’ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!

Couldn't Be More Pleased

A wonderful law firm who personally takes care of your issues. Workers’ Comp can be a nightmare in so many ways so it is good to have an exceptional attorney with that experience guiding you through the process. Griff Shuler was my attorney and I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he handled my case.
