Fireworks can be exciting, but they also pose serious risks if safety precautions are overlooked. Whether you're attending a community show or lighting up a small display at home, our team wants to help you stay aware of the potential dangers.
Here are some of the most common fireworks-related injuries:
• Burn injuries are the most frequent, making up 37% of all fireworks injuries. Hands, arms, and exposed skin are especially vulnerable — even sparklers burn hot enough to cause severe damage.
• Eye injuries can occur when people stand too close, and some lead to lasting vision impairment.
• Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation happen when fireworks malfunction, explode unexpectedly, or produce excessive smoke or noise.
• More serious injuries often involve aerial shells or mortars and can result in long-term disability.
Awareness helps, but accidents can still happen. If a fireworks incident leads to an injury, our team at Your Injury Firm is here to guide you through your legal options.
