Halloween brings millions of children onto neighborhood streets and private property after dark, creating a predictable mix of poorly lit walkways, temporary decorations, extension cords, traffic, excited children, pets, costumes that impair visibility and crowded haunted attractions. When someone gets hurt, what looks like a holiday accident can quickly raise complicated questions about negligence, premises liability, insurance coverage and who may ultimately be responsible. Legal analyst Rusty Reynolds explains where everyday holiday hazards can cross into potential legal liability and, more importantly, the practical precautions families, homeowners and drivers can take before trick-or-treating begins.
