Fireworks can make holiday celebrations memorable, but they also create real risks when they’re not handled safely. Our team sees firsthand how quickly a moment of excitement can turn into a serious personal injury.
Common injuries include:
• Burns, which make up more than a third of fireworks-related injuries and often affect hands, arms, and other exposed skin.
• Eye injuries that can lead to lasting vision impairment when viewers stand too close.
• Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation from malfunctioning devices or excessive smoke.
• Severe trauma from aerial shells or mortars, which may result in long-term disability.
Awareness is important, but even the most careful individuals can be injured due to someone else’s negligence. If you or someone you know has been harmed in a fireworks incident, our team at the Law Office of Brian Hickey is here to guide you through the legal steps.
If you have questions about what to do next, we encourage you to reach out.
