Costumes, candy, and trick-or-treating — Halloween is one of the best nights of the year in the Quad Cities. A little planning before you head out can make it even better.
A few things to keep in mind this year:
🎃 Trick-or-treating — Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes, carry a flashlight, and review the route before leaving so kids know where they’re going.
👻 Haunted attractions — Low lighting, fog, and uneven surfaces are part of the fun, but they can also be a hazard. Wear closed-toe shoes and stay aware of your surroundings.
🏠 At home — Clear sidewalks and steps before trick-or-treaters arrive, watch for wet leaves, and swap open-flame candles for battery-operated ones near costumes and decorations.
🚗 On the road — Slow down in residential areas, turn headlights on early, and put the phone away. Kids in dark costumes can be hard to see, and they move unpredictably.
🍺 Getting home safely — If you’re heading to a party, arrange a sober ride before the night begins.
Even with precautions, accidents happen. If you or someone you love is injured this Halloween, the personal injury attorneys at Winstein, Kavensky & Cunningham are here to help.
