Fireworks that are improperly designed or manufactured can be dangerous, but even legal consumer-use fireworks that are properly designed can result in injury – even when properly used. Even if the fireworks themselves do not cause injury, the fires they often start can. Every year, approximately 50 people are hurt, 15 people are killed, and $15 million worth of property is destroyed in fires caused by fireworks.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident involving fireworks, you have a few potential options available for seeking compensation. If the firework was not properly designed or manufactured, you could bring a negligence claim against the firework’s manufacturer or designer. Even if the firework was properly designed, you may be able to bring a strict liability claim against the manufacturer, which does not rely on the manufacturer being negligent. Additionally, some fireworks suppliers will sell illegal fireworks or will sell fireworks to minors. If this action results in an injury, the firework supplier could be held liable for the damages. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligent actions with fireworks, you could bring a personal injury lawsuit against that individual, in addition to any other claims you might make.

The sheer number of different types of personal injury claims you could make based on this accident might seem overwhelming, but the legal professionals at Grossman Law Offices are here to help you.
