“Can Halloween accidents be covered by Personal Injury claims?”
It’s a good question, and honestly, it depends on how the accident happened.
Here in Louisiana, personal injury cases are based on fault.
That means if someone’s carelessness caused an accident, like a distracted driver, poor lighting, or unsafe property, they may be legally responsible for your injuries.
And here’s something most people don’t know:
Even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover damages.
Louisiana follows a comparative fault rule, which simply reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault, but doesn’t erase your rights completely.
For example:
If a driver was speeding and a child ran across a poorly lit street, the driver may still be mostly at fault. It’s not always “no one’s fault.”
So yes, in many cases, Halloween accidents can be covered.
The key is proving someone was negligent.
🎃 This Halloween, stay safe out there, but if something does happen, don’t assume you’re out of options.
You might have more rights than you realize.
