Attend organised Bonfire Night events, personal injury solicitors Rochdale advise

Personal injury solicitors Rochdale are asking people to visit council-held fireworks displays and Bonfire Night events, rather than holding their own.


The risk of accidental injury is very high over Guy Fawkes' Night, and Clearwater Solicitors - a team of no win no fee solicitors Rochdale - are expecting to see a number of painful and serious injuries caused by reckless and negligent use of fireworks, or careless use of fire.

This year, organised Bonfire Night events in Rochdale include:

-          Cronkeyshaw Common, Syke, October 30th
-          Cherwell Avenue, October 31st
-          Mayfield Rugby Club, November 1st
-          Rochdale Cricket Club, November 9th

There will also be a number of Bonfire Night events in the towns and cities outside Rochdale. It is always far safer to go to an organised display than for a person to hold their own - organised displays reach strict safety standards, whereas home displays can be considerably more dangerous. People who are injured at organised displays may also have a better chance of success in personal injury claims - no win no fee solicitors Rochdale point out that the organisers of these displays will have public liability insurance policies, which will make it easier for people to claim compensation if they are injured due to negligence.


Friends, families and people from all over the UK are more than welcome at these organised events, and there will be no admission fee or other charges. Many organised events are significantly more fun than backyard bonfires - the firework displays are more impressive, the community gets together and there can be shops and stalls selling Bonfire Night foods and drinks.

If people insist on holding their own events, personal injury solicitors Rochdale would like to give the following advice:

-          Do not build a bonfire near to a fence, shed, house or overhead lines
-          Ensure the fire is stable and that it will not collapse
-          Do not let fireworks off in any unsafe locations, such as near to people or buildings
Clearwater Solicitors hopes that everyone in Rochdale has a safe, fun Bonfire Night.
