Fireworks Injuries and Homeowner Liability Cases
The sale and use of most consumer fireworks is prohibited in the state of Illinois, but that rarely stops millions of people every year from celebrating a holiday or other event with a few firecrackers, roman candles or bottle rockets. Inevitably, some of those people will suffer fireworks related injuries, some of which can be very serious and even disabling.
Unintended injury is one reason why homeowners have insurance that protects them financially when a friend or family member is injured on their property. As the victim, you have a right to compensation for your injury if it occurred at someone else's home or property.
At the law office of Salvi & Maher, L.L.C., we can help you get fair compensation without causing undue pain for your friends, neighbors, colleagues or family members.
Overcoming a Hesitation to Work With a Lawyer
Many people who suffer a fireworks injury are at the home of a friend, neighbor or family member. As a result, people hesitate to talk to an attorney when they have been injured because they are afraid of financially harming the property owner.
Our lawyers understand your desire to protect the people in your life, but we also understand that when you have been seriously injured, you need full and fair compensation to deal with medical costs and lost wages. Don't let insurance companies take advantage of your desire to protect a neighbor or friend. This is why homeowners pay for homeowner's insurance.
Fireworks can cause any number of injuries, including:
- Burns
- Scarring
- Cuts
- Blindness
- Fractures
- Amputation
Before you accept an insurance settlement that may not fully cover your costs, including medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering, have your case reviewed by an experienced attorney. We can give you a clear understanding of your rights and options. We can help you pursue a full and fair settlement or a verdict that provides for you and your family without causing undue burden to the friend or family member.
