Who Can Be Held Responsible for Fireworks Injuries?

Many individuals can be held responsible for injuries due to fireworks at celebrations, such as on the 4th of July. Depending on your specific circumstances and factors surrounding the incident, it may be challenging to determine who is liable for your injuries and any related financial damages, but we can help.

In most cases related to fireworks, one of the following individuals is liable:

  • Manufacturers of defective fireworks or fireworks with design flaws
  • Property owners who hold public and private displays
  • Event organizers in charge of safety during public displays, especially if they lack permits, do not follow regulations, or fail to uphold safety protocols
  • Individuals handling fireworks
  • Illegal fireworks sellers or sellers who do not follow selling regulations and safety standards
  • State or city government entities

In some circumstances, other parties may be liable for your losses. There are also cases where more than one individual will be responsible, and every liable party must be held accountable. These cases can be complicated to manage, but our firm can help. Please reach out to Hollis Law Firm to gain support from a talented and dedicated attorney during this difficult time.
