Fireworks celebrations can be enjoyable, but they also come with real risks. As a Tucson law firm focused on catastrophic injury, personal injury, and wrongful death cases, we want to help our community stay informed and protected.
Common fireworks-related injuries include:
• Burn injuries, which account for a significant portion of fireworks accidents and often affect hands, arms, and exposed skin.
• Eye injuries, which can lead to permanent vision loss when safe viewing distances are ignored.
• Lacerations, hearing damage, and respiratory issues caused by device malfunctions or excessive smoke and noise.
• Severe trauma from aerial shells or mortars, which can result in long-term disability.
Understanding these risks is the first step to prevention, but accidents can still happen even when precautions are taken.
If you or someone you know has been injured and needs guidance on legal next steps, our team at Mercaldo Law Firm is here to help. Reach out with your questions at any time.
