Halloween night brings out hundreds of thousands of children, walking from door to door, and neighborhood to neighborhood. While many children look forward to Halloween night, it can be one of the most dangerous nights for pedestrian accidents. In fact, the number of pedestrian accidents increases by up to 40%.
Factors Contributing to Pedestrian Accidents on Halloween Night
There are many factors that lead to an increase in pedestrian accidents on Halloween night, including:
- It gets darker earlier
- More distractions, for both the driver and the pedestrian
- More pedestrians on the road
- More drivers on the road
- Darker costumes or outfits
- Younger children in groups
Whether a pedestrian accident occurs on a dark, rainy, Halloween night, or when the sun is shining and bright, it often leads to painful injuries and expensive medical costs. If a driver’s negligence led to your injuries, then it is only right that they cover your expenses.
How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help Your Pedestrian Accident Case
Were you or a loved one injured in a pedestrian accident? A personal injury lawyer may be able to help. A personal injury lawyer can help you with the following things:
- Assist you in building your case: A lot goes into building a pedestrian accident case. Your lawyer will help you build your case with things like your medical records, police report, driving records, and witness statements.
- Stay within New Jersey’s time limits: The state of New Jersey imposes strict time limits on how long you have to file a pedestrian accident claim. In fact, you have just two years from the date of the accident to file. Your lawyer will ensure that your case is filed in a timely manner.
