With Independence Day around the corner, personal injury lawyers remind our loyal readers to please avoid dangerous burn injuries and scalds. Fireworks, sparklers, roman candles and cherry bombs can cause serious personal injury, eye injury, loss of vision, skin burns and bodily disfigurement. Firecrackers release projectiles at very high pressure, and send out high temperatures sparks. Ohio University doctors report that sparklers -- often handled by young children -- can reach high temperatures as high as 1,800 Degrees Fahrenheit! Yes, that is One Thousand Eight Hundred degrees. In comparison, water boils already at 212 degrees! This type of heat can burn eyes, hands, chest and anything nearby, say experienced personal injury lawyers. In fact, every year, 12,000 Americans experience firework related injuries and end-up in hospital Emergency Rooms. See this case of a New York infant burnt severely by hot liquid. Please stay clear of this dangerous situation. Instead, sit back, watch and enjoy while trained professionals, with proper safety equipment and measures, put on the show. If personal injury does strike, get in touch with a top attorney right away.
