Firework injury lawyer California is a critical search term every summer — and it’s no surprise. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 10,000 people were injured by fireworks in 2023, with a growing number of cases reported in California cities like Los Angeles, Burbank, and Long Beach.
As Independence Day approaches, it’s important to understand your legal rights for firework injury claims in California — especially if you or a loved one has been hurt due to negligence or illegal explosives.
While “Safe and Sane” fireworks are allowed in some jurisdictions, most of Los Angeles County bans them altogether. Possession or use of illegal fireworks — such as Roman candles, bottle rockets, or aerial mortars — can result in criminal charges. If you were injured by an illegal firework, the user (or seller) may be liable for your damages.

A skilled firework injury lawyer in California can help identify all liable parties.

Burn injuries are traumatic and can require months or even years of recovery. You’ll need:
You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in California. However, claims involving public entities (e.g., city-sponsored fireworks shows) must be filed within 6 months. Don’t wait.
Insurance companies often offer lowball settlements, hoping you’ll settle quickly. A qualified firework injury lawyer California can help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, negotiate aggressively, and — if necessary — take your case to court.
