Consumer Fireworks Law
Currently, consumer fireworks can be legally purchased in 26 states with few limitations. Other states only allow the purchase of sparklers and non-explosive fireworks.
Even in states where fireworks are permitted, there can still be legal consequences if something were to go wrong.
Consumer fireworks cases are often tried in the United States as lawsuits and are usually classified as product liability or personal injury law. Product liability law involves cases in which defective products harm consumers. For example, if a firework explodes too early and causes an injury, a lawsuit can be filed against the manufacturer.
Personal injury law similarly covers cases in which another party’s negligence causes harm to others.
Fireworks Display Law
Even in states where consumer fireworks are illegal, firework displays by professionals are still allowed.
The law expects professionals in any field to have the ability and competency to protect others from harm when they perform their work. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes the operators of professional fireworks displays act negligently. This can lead to malfunctions that harm or even kill spectators.
While fireworks can certainly be exciting to witness, sometimes they can lead to physical injuries for everyone involved.
If this has happened to you or your loved one, consider contacting a fireworks injury attorney to obtain a free case evaluation. If your injury was the result of another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
