After an injury, it is not uncommon for someone to feel fine initially and then develop symptoms days later. A delayed onset does not mean the injury is minor or unrelated, but reflects how the body responds to trauma. Swipe to find out what this means for your legal rights.

If you are experiencing delayed symptoms after an accident and are unsure how that affects your ability to pursue a claim, contact our office for a case-specific review. We are here to help you.

Regardless of whether you are attending a fireworks show or planning to put on a small display of your own, it is important to remember that fireworks can cause serious injuries if not used with caution. A couple of common types of fireworks-related injuries include:

🔹 Burn injuries account for 37% of fireworks injuries and often affect hands, arms, and exposed skin. Even sparklers burn at extremely high temperatures and can cause serious burns.

🔹 Eye injuries can involve permanent vision impairment when safe viewing distances are not maintained.

🔹 Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation can occur when devices malfunction, explode unpredictably, or produce excessive smoke or noise exposure.

🔹 More severe injuries from fireworks typically involve aerial shells or mortars from fireworks and may lead to long-term disability.

While being aware of these injuries is key to preventing them, it cannot prevent them outright. Having dedicated legal support is key in the event of an injury.
