Fourth of July. Backyard parties. Neighborhood fireworks. It’s all fun and games — until someone ends up in the ER.
Firework injuries are surprisingly common in Pennsylvania, and when they happen, the legal side can get complicated.
So who’s legally responsible?
It depends. If your neighbor is setting off fireworks illegally or unsafely and someone gets hurt, they may be liable. If you’re at a public event and a fireworks show goes wrong, the company running the display could be at fault. Even landlords or property owners could be held responsible if someone gets injured on their property due to fireworks.
Injury claims we often see from fireworks include:
- Burns and scarring
- Eye and ear damage
- Hand and finger injuries
- PTSD or emotional trauma, especially in children
