Injured by Fireworks? Here’s What You Need to Know

Kid with firework

Fireworks can turn festive nights into disasters when mishandled. Every year, people suffer burns, hand injuries, eye damage, and even hearing loss due to defective or improperly used fireworks.

Who’s at Fault?

Liability could lie with:

  • The person who ignited the fireworks
  • The event organizer
  • The manufacturer (if the firework malfunctioned)
  • The occupier/property owner

Compensation May Include:

  • Emergency medical care
  • Surgery and rehabilitation
  • Scarring or disfigurement compensation
  • Emotional distress

Safety Tip

Never assume a firework is safe just because it's legal. Always keep a safe distance and leave large displays to professionals.

If you’ve been injured, consult a personal injury lawyer to understand your options. You could be entitled to compensation—don’t face it alone. Call 1 (844) DIAL JRJ and a member of our team will be happy to help you!
