On July 4, 2015, Pierre Paul gathered with his family and friends to celebrate Independence Day. He purchases $1,100 worth of fireworks to set off, and all but one batch went off without a hitch.
The last set of fireworks didn’t do anything the first seven times Pierre-Paul tried to launch them. On the eight attempts, there was a flash and a boom, Pierre didn’t notice anything until someone yelled to look at his hand.
He was immediately driven to the hospital as blood spilt everywhere. As part of the procedures, Pierre-Paul had his right index finger amputated.
