Autumn Motor Vehicle AccidentsMost experienced drivers, especially in the Western New York area, are well versed in the risks associated with winter driving conditions and safety tips and precautionary measures that can help keep them and their loved ones safe when they encounter them. Far less, it seems, is understood about the risks associated with driving in the fall, which is surprising, in that, there are so many dangers, and the accidents they cause can be just as perilous and, in some cases, even fatal. Some of the most common risks associated with autumn driving include:
1) Wet Leaves: You may be surprised to learn that driving on wet leaves can be as slippery and as hazardous as driving on a patch of black ice. According to an article published by Seely & Durland Insurance, “leaves are specifically designed NOT to allow water to penetrate. Instead, water sits on top of the leaf’s waxy coating, creating a film similar to that found on ice.” This slippery film prevents your car from maintaining traction, which can cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
2) Active Wildlife: Collisions with animals are far more likely to occur in the fall as the wildlife creatures begin preparing for winter and some animals, like deer, commence their mating season. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, “you are 3.5 times as likely to hit an animal, especially a deer, in November than at any other time of the year.” An alarming statistic that makes it imperative that you drive with extreme caution during this time of year, especially when driving near wooded and rural areas.
3) Reduced Daylight: With fall comes daylight savings time. While falling back an hour and gaining an extra hour of sleep sounds promising, there are risks associated with the shortened days that accompany the season. The National Safety Council warns that “depth perception, color recognition and peripheral vision can be compromised in the dark, and the glare of headlights from an oncoming vehicle can temporarily blind a driver.” It is important that you ensure that your headlights and brake lights are in proper working order when fall approaches because even your morning and afternoon commutes will become gradually darker.
4) Back to School Traffic: When kids head back to school in the fall, there is an increase in traffic. School buses and personal vehicles clog up the streets that have been less populated over the summer months. There is also some degree of uncertainty among motorists as they learn new commutes and practice new routes and schedules for the first time.
5) Weather Conditions: According to the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, “nearly 5,000 people are killed and over 418,000 people are injured in weather-related crashes each year.” Autumn is known for rain, fog, wind, and morning frost that make for wet and slick conditions that drivers should be extremely cautious of.

Along with the unique hazards the season brings to driving, autumn also delivers hazardous conditions that increase the risk and severity of slip and fall and trip and fall accidents. Some of the most common risks associated with autumn slip and fall and trip and fall accidents are:
1) Wet Leaves: When leaves fall from trees, they fall anywhere and everywhere. While wet leaves on roadways contribute to dangerous driving conditions, wet leaves on sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots pose a danger to anyone who traverses those areas on foot.
2) Less Daylight: Decreased visibility also negatively affects pedestrians, especially if they happen to be traveling in areas that do not provide adequate lighting.
3) Back to School: Many children who live too close to the school to be bused will walk to and from school and are vulnerable to all of the autumn specific hazards that we have identified. Not to mention the possible slip and fall and trip and fall hazards present at school upon arrival. Wet floors from spills, leaks, and improper maintenance can make school a dangerous place to be.
4) Weather Conditions: Wet and windy conditions, coupled with fog, make walking more difficult. Even dry leaves that have fallen on sidewalks can unintentionally hide defects in sidewalks, causing you or your loved one to trip and fall over something that would have been avoidable if it was not covered by leaves.
