Fireworks can be exciting, but they also bring real risks. Whether you're watching a community show or setting off a small display at home, it's important to understand the types of injuries we often see around this time of year.
• Burn injuries are the most common, making up about 37% of fireworks-related injuries. Even simple sparklers burn hot enough to cause serious harm.
• Eye injuries can happen when people stand too close, leading to long-term vision issues.
• Lacerations, hearing damage, and breathing irritation may occur when fireworks malfunction or produce heavy smoke and loud blasts.
• More severe injuries often involve aerial shells or mortar-style fireworks and can lead to lasting complications.
Awareness helps, but accidents still happen — and when they do, having a legal team you can trust makes all the difference.
