North Chicago & St. Louis Injury Updates
Halloween can be a scary time to be a pedestrian, especially in a busy city. For many parents, there is a fine line between Halloween fun and safety concerns.
At Seidman, Margulis & Fairman & Fairman, LLP, we are concerned about pedestrian safety in our community. We wanted to better understand where pedestrian accidents happen in Chicago. So, we worked with the data visualization and consumer safety advocacy team, 1Point21 Interactive, to analyze three years of pedestrian-involved accident data on Halloween.
For the purpose of this analysis, we defined the Halloween period to begin at 12:00 am on Halloween morning to 12:00 am the following day.
