David Aylor Law Offices Offers Free Uber Rides in Response to Halloween Accident Rush

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Charleston, South Carolina)– A recent study conducted by Safe Kids Worldwide revealed 89 percent of children in the United States take part in Halloween activities with almost 75 percent of those following the trick-or-treating tradition. An estimated 35 percent additionally frequent themed community events during this time while 29 percent attend parties hosted by friends or neighbors. On a related noted, this increased level of pedestrian activity leads to almost twice as many vehicle accidents on this one night as any other time of the year.

This comes as no surprise to the staff of David Aylor Law Offices who focus on personal injury cases. In response to this notably increased danger, Attorney David Aylor is offering free Uber rides during Halloween to help prevent local children from becoming part of the accident statistics. Said Aylor, “A significant number of pedestrian accidents and other risky scenarios occur on Halloween. With the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, many adults and older teens are more likely to celebrate as well. We’re hoping this service will allow our community’s children and adults alike to enjoy the festivities while also keeping them safe.”

A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates 760 pedestrian fatalities occurred during 2013 in South Carolina alone with more than 4,500 taking place nationwide. The majority of those come about at night, also the same time frame during which trick-or-treaters and community celebration attendees are typically on the move. While drivers are not necessarily more reckless on Halloween, greater volume of pedestrians on the streets is the root cause for accident surges.

Having been practicing law in Charleston and the surrounding areas since 2007, Aylor has witnessed firsthand accident trends in the region. Media outlets both locally and on a national level have sought his advice in the fields in which his team offers service. He is licensed to provide counsel in courts throughout the state of South Carolina.

Concluded Aylor, “We are proud to partner with Uber in this community outreach effort and trust spreading the word about this service will encourage anyone planning to be out on the road this Halloween to take advantage of the free rides available. We hope everyone will exercise caution and take all appropriate measures to remain safe on this night and always. Those interested may visit our website to Learn More .”
