When a crash happens, fault is not always one-sided. In some cases, both parties may share responsibility. That is where comparative negligence applies. Comparative negligence is a legal doctrine that reduces an injured person’s compensation based on their percentage of fault.

Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts, so even a small change in fault percentage can significantly impact your recovery. Swipe for more information.

If you have been injured and are concerned about shared fault, do not make assumptions about your case. Contact us to discuss your situation and protect your right to full and fair compensation.

Regardless of whether you are attending a fireworks show or planning to put on a small display of your own, it is important to remember that fireworks can cause serious injuries if not used with caution. A couple of common types of fireworks-related injuries include:

🔹 Burn injuries account for 37% of fireworks injuries and often affect hands, arms, and exposed skin. Even sparklers burn at extremely high temperatures and can cause serious burns.

🔹 Eye injuries can involve permanent vision impairment when safe viewing distances are not maintained.

🔹 Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation can occur when devices malfunction, explode unpredictably, or produce excessive smoke or noise exposure.

🔹 More severe injuries from fireworks typically involve aerial shells or mortars from fireworks and may lead to long-term disability.

While being aware of these injuries is key to preventing them, it cannot prevent them outright. Having dedicated legal support is key in the event of an injury.

Reach out if you have questions about legal next steps after an incident. We are always here to help.
