Trick-or-Treating and Other Halloween Safety in South Carolina: Important Tips from David Blackwell Law.

Out of all the holidays, Halloween is the one where children are allowed to be goofy and have fun with friends outside, dressing up to go trick-or-treating, having parties, and playing fun games while eating sweets. For most people, Halloween is a fun and safe holiday, especially right here in Lancaster, SC, and Indian Land, SC. However, our personal injury lawyers know that some children or parents may not have a fun and safe Halloween if they are involved in an accident and suffer personal injuries.  Statistics reveal that Halloween is the deadliest day for child pedestrians.
