All of this excitement in one night can unfortunately lead to injuries to your children, and injuries can definitely dampen the Halloween spirit. Here\u2019s what you should look out for on Halloween night to ensure the risk of injuries and accidents is minimal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How Could My Child Suffer From a Serious Injury on Halloween Night?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Don\u2019t let your young children trick-or-treat alone.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is an obvious safety tip, but many families are still unaware of the dangers of letting their small children walk in their neighborhood alone on Halloween. As a parent you should always accompany your young children. Older children should always travel in groups and be back home before extremely late hours.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Be prepared for night-walking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The combination of walking at sundown or nighttime in unfamiliar areas with a mask or heavy costume could result in falls that could leave broken bones, brain injuries, sprains and bruises. Make sure you and your child have a flashlight just in case you\u2019re on a poorly lit street.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Ensure costumes fit properly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to avoid tripping and falling while trick-or-treating, make sure that your child\u2019s costume doesn\u2019t drag on the ground or isn\u2019t too heavy and awkward. Also, ensure that any masks or headwear\/eyewear doesn\u2019t obstruct your child\u2019s eyesight completely.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Be cautious while carving pumpkins.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t let your young children carve any pumpkins with a sharp knife because they could easily cut their hands or other part of their body. A safer approach could be using paint or non-carving decoration kits for younger children, or you can cut the Jack-o-Lantern for them. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or your child suffers a serious injury on Halloween night due to negligence on someone else\u2019s property, speak with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdinjuryattorney.com\/personal-injury\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personal injury attorney<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as soon as possible.
