Personal injury claims for fireworks all year round

Many people get carried away with celebrations for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, New Year’s Eve, and any other excuse for a good party. However, there are a number of personal injuries that can result from any combination of high spirits, poor organisation and gunpowder.

The most common personal injuries sustained from fireworks are to the hands, head and eyes, with one third of eye injuries resulting in permanent blindness. Injuries to the legs, arms and back have also been reported. The most frequent types of personal injury are burns, lacerations and abrasions. Wayward rockets and firecrackers seem the most dangerous culprits while scorching sparklers cause a fare few injuries.

Research by Merseyside fire and rescue service in 2001 showed that family or private parties are the most likely venue to sustain a firework injury. Large public displays usually have some safety measures but are also quite dangerous and account for many personal injury claims.

The majority of firework injuries happen to children under 14 years old, with males being the most susceptible.
