Fireworks light up the sky during celebrations, creating excitement and unforgettable moments. However, these dazzling displays can also be dangerous, leading to severe injuries. Every year, thousands of people in the U.S. suffer burns, hearing loss, eye injuries, and even more catastrophic harm due to fireworks accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured by fireworks, knowing your legal rights and next steps is crucial.
Who Is Liable for Fireworks Injuries?
The cause of your injury determines who is responsible:
- Defective Fireworks: If the fireworks malfunctioned and caused injury despite proper handling, the manufacturer or retailer could be held liable. Proving a product defect can be challenging, but an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you build a strong case.
- Negligence by Others: If someone else’s careless fireworks use resulted in your injury, they may be held legally accountable. Whether it was a neighbor, an event organizer, or another individual handling fireworks irresponsibly, they could owe you compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Lack of Safety Precautions: Public fireworks displays should adhere to strict safety regulations. If an organization or municipality fails to follow safety protocols, leading to injuries, they could be liable for negligence.
Steps to Take If You’ve Been Injured by Fireworks
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention – Even minor burns or injuries can worsen over time, so get medical help right away.
- Document Everything – Take photos of your injuries, the scene, and the fireworks involved. Keep medical records and receipts.
- Identify Witnesses – Statements from those who saw the incident can strengthen your case.
- Do Not Speak with Insurance Companies Alone – Insurers may try to minimize your claim. Before speaking to them, consult an attorney.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases.

Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death.
