Firework Injuries
Every year, despite
excellent work by many public agencies promoting tips and advice on
handling fireworks safely, hundreds of adults and children end
their firework night fun with a visit to accident &
emergency.
Firework injuries compensation
Children account for over half of
all firework casualties, suffering injuries such as burnt hands or
feet, eye injuries and burns to the torso.
When money is tight and
times are tough the option of buying cheap fireworks from
unregistered sellers can look tempting. However fireworks bought
from rogue traders – whether from the back of a van, from
door-to-door sellers or from unregistered premises – can come at a
much costlier price than mere pounds and pence.
Fireworks sold by rogue
traders have no guarantee of either quality or, crucially, safety.
In fact, they may be poorly made and may not conform to the
standard BS 7114. They may also have instructions missing or
include instructions which are not written in English.
Remember remember...
- Fireworks burn at thousands of degrees °C.
- Even a sparkler reaches a temperature of up to 2,000°C (20
times the boiling point of water).
- Fireworks are fast with rockets reaching 150mph
If you or a member of
your family has been injured in a firework-related accident through
