(USGovernment-News.Com, October 24, 2013 ) WINSTON-SALEM, NC – With Halloween right around the corner our Winston-Salem personal injury attorneys would like to announce the top three Halloween accidents, so members of our community can avoid these dangers.
As Halloween is an excellent holiday to be celebrated by people of all ages, it can pose extreme dangers as children may be running from house to house, across streets, and eating candy from strangers.
The top three Halloween accidents include:
Car vs. pedestrian accidents – While children are running around aimlessly searching for the next house giving candy, they often fail to pay attention for vehicles on the roadway. According to the Centers for Disease Control, children are four times more likely to be struck by a car on October 31st than any other time of the year.
Fires – While it is a custom for many to carve pumpkins and set them on their porch, these pumpkins will typically have a candle inside them. These open flames have been linked to costumes catching on fire and pumpkins tipping over and setting your house on fire.
Halloween candy – While it only natural for children to eat the candy they have collected during their adventures, parents should inspect each piece of candy for any hazards. They may also want to try a piece or two for safety reasons, of course.
There may be several other dangers that can occur on Halloween; however parents can act responsibly to eliminate these dangers.
