Fireworks celebrations can be exciting, but they also create real safety risks if something goes wrong. Our team at Hortsman & Campanelli helps individuals across Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland understand their legal options when preventable injuries occur.

Common injuries we see from fireworks incidents include:

• Burns to hands, arms, and exposed skin, often caused by sparklers and handheld devices
• Eye injuries from improper distance or debris
• Lacerations, hearing loss, or breathing irritation when fireworks malfunction or explode unexpectedly
• Severe trauma from aerial shells or mortars that can lead to long-term disability

Awareness is important, but it cannot eliminate every risk. If you or someone you know has been injured, our law firm is here to provide clear guidance on next steps.

Summer is around the corner, and if you are co-parenting, now is the time to get ahead of seasonal schedule changes. A little early planning can go a long way in preventing stress and setting your child up for success.

Here are a few legal reminders to keep in mind:

✅Review your custody agreement - Look for summer-specific guidelines like vacation request deadlines or travel restrictions.
✅Communicate early and in writing - Whether you are discussing trips, camps, or child care, written communication helps avoid misunderstandings.
✅Check notice requirements - Many agreements require advance notice for schedule changes or travel.
✅Plan transitions - Talk about transportation, medical needs, and how you will stay in contact with your co-parent.
✅Confirm travel rules - Traveling out of state or abroad? You might need written consent or court approval.
✅Document all changes - If you adjust the schedule, make sure it is in writing.
