When Something Scary Turns Into a Legal Case: We Win Injury Law Encourages a Safe Halloween

Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year — costumes, creativity, and a night full of laughter and fun. But it’s also a time when accidents are more likely to happen. With kids walking in the dark, drivers distracted by decorations, and crowds filling the streets, safety should always come first.

In a recent ABC4 interview, Tyler Todd of We Win Injury Law discussed how quickly a festive night can turn serious — and how a few small precautions can make all the difference.

Keeping Halloween Safe for Everyone

As families head out to celebrate, here are a few reminders to help keep everyone safe this Halloween night:

• Be visible: Add reflective tape to costumes or carry a flashlight so drivers can see you.

• Stay on sidewalks and cross at corners: Avoid running between parked cars or crossing in the middle of the street.

• Slow down behind the wheel: Neighborhoods will be full of kids — take extra care, especially during peak trick-or-treat hours.

• Check your surroundings: Make sure walkways are clear of cords, decorations, or uneven surfaces that could cause a fall.

• Keep pets secured: Costumes and doorbells can confuse animals — a startled pet can unintentionally bite or scratch.

Simple steps like these can help prevent real-life scares.

When Accidents Happen

Even with the best intentions, things can go wrong. A distracted driver, a loose dog, or a trip on a dark walkway can change a fun night into an upsetting one.

That’s why it’s important to:

• Get medical care right away, even for minor injuries.

• Document what happened with photos and notes.

• Stay calm and make sure everyone is safe before worrying about fault or responsibility.

In the interview, we discuss how many accidents that lead to legal cases could have been prevented and how staying alert and taking simple precautions can help reduce those risks.
