Fireworks can be exciting, but they also pose serious risks when safety precautions are overlooked. Whether you're watching a professional show or using consumer fireworks at home, our team at Thompson Legal, P.A. wants to help keep you informed and safe.
Here are some of the most common fireworks-related injuries:
• Burn injuries account for a large share of accident cases, often affecting hands, arms, and other exposed areas. Even sparklers reach extremely high temperatures and can cause severe burns.
• Eye injuries can occur when spectators stand too close, sometimes resulting in long-term or permanent vision impairment.
• Lacerations, hearing damage, and respiratory irritation may occur when fireworks malfunction, explode unexpectedly, or generate excessive smoke and noise.
• More serious trauma often involves aerial shells or mortars, which can lead to lasting disabilities.
Awareness is important, but accidents still happen. If you or someone you know is injured due to unsafe or defective fireworks, our trial attorneys are here to provide guidance and support.
Feel free to contact us with any questions about your legal options after an incident.
