As we join together to celebrate the Fourth of July with bright, dazzling displays of fireworks, we at Robert Bates & Associates, would like to take a moment to share some insights about firework accidents. After all, being your reliable personal injury attorney in East Tennessee, we understand the importance of public safety.
When it comes to firework accidents, the numbers are quite startling. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, on average, 180 people go to the emergency room every day with fireworks-related injuries in the month around the July 4th holiday. Too often, these festivities turn tragic due to preventable accidents. While these numbers are national, Tennessee is not immune, with our state contributing a significant portion of these figures.
In addition to our focus on car accident, truck accident, and motorcycle accident cases, our office has also represented victims of firework accidents. Whether it’s a car wreck or a firework incident, the personal injury aftermath is often similar, with victims facing physical, emotional, and financial challenges. We all love the spectacle of fireworks, but it’s crucial to remember that these are explosives, and their mishandling can lead to serious accidents. From burns and lacerations to more severe injuries, the risks are real. We implore everyone to follow local laws, use fireworks responsibly, and consider attending a professional display rather than conducting a home show. However, accidents happen. If you or a loved one are involved in a firework accident or, in another context, a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, you can count on us. Just as we would represent you in the aftermath of a wreck, we’re prepared to stand by you after a firework accident too.
