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.

At home, we expect our furniture to be safe, but not all household items are built or installed with safety in mind. Poorly secured bookshelves, unstable televisions, and defective anchoring systems can pose serious risks, particularly to young children. When injuries happen due to unsafe design or installation, liability may rest with the manufacturer or property owner.

May is Older Americans Month, and to honor the month, I wanted to take a moment to share a few key areas where our team can help to ensure your estate plan meets your needs as you and your family get older.

📋 Living trusts help ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes while potentially avoiding probate. Unlike a will, a trust can take effect during your lifetime and allow for seamless asset management if you become incapacitated.

📋 Powers of attorney authorize trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so yourself, preventing delays, confusion, or court intervention. You can designate different powers of attorney for different concerns — such as health care or financial matters.

📋 Advance health care directives allow you to outline medical treatment preferences and appoint a health care agent to advocate for those wishes if you become incapacitated. These documents work with a health care power of attorney, and it's crucial to ensure they align.

Having these documents in place brings clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. If you have questions about your estate plan or would like to discuss these documents, feel free to reach out.

Marriage is a beautiful new chapter, but it doesn’t only bring big life changes. It can also bring significant legal and financial changes for couples. That’s why this new chapter is the perfect time to create or update your estate plan.

Without proper planning, state laws — not your wishes — could determine who makes decisions for you or inherits your assets. Remember: Each spouse should have their own will and power of attorney, even if your wishes align.

Give us a call, and we can get started.
