Holidays are an average part of life for many Americans. Throughout our year we have many holidays that come each month that have different meanings, and different celebrations associated with each and every one. We celebrate these holidays through various activities with our family, friends, and even our neighbors. One holiday that many Americans celebrate every year is that of the Fourth of July. Standing as a holiday commemorating the day in history that the United States gained its independence many Americans display their American pride proudly in multiple ways while celebrating the holiday.

“Boom, Boom, Pow”

One aspect of the Fourth of July is that of fireworks. Fireworks have been a time-honored tradition for many Fourth of July celebrations, as well as that for other holidays. Fireworks bring a sense of beauty, and excitement to an already special day within our year. However, fireworks also have another side to them besides that of the intricate designs and their infamous booming sound. Fireworks are actually very dangerous products that can easily land an individual in a hospital in an instant. Fireworks have a lot of room for error to occur, and when it does it creates accidents that result in serious, and dangerous injuries that last a lifetime.

The Problem At Hand

Yet, what can really occur when fireworks are misused, and not handled properly? The majority of the time burns are a common injury associated with the product, but other injuries can easily occur depending on the actual power and how far you are distanced from the product when it goes off. Studies show that nearly 2,000 individuals were hospitalized for legally purchased fireworks in the few days before and after the Fourth. However, while the majority of firework accidents that are associated with the general public’s use of the product deals mainly with misuse, or an accident some fireworks can be manufactured, and sold that are not properly safe or functional.

If you or a loved one has an accident associated with that of fireworks, especially when the accident did not occur due to your handling of the product you are entitled to damages. When this occurs contact an experienced, and dedicated personal injury attorney in order to make sure you fight for the damages you need, and deserve.
