Concert & sporting event injury attorneys

Thousands of serious injuries and a large number of deaths occur because crowd-safety failures occur at festivals, concerts, and nightclubs around the world, the Great White concert and E2 nightclub tragedies being only a few. Concerts, performance events, and sports arenas, should be a safe, entertaining activity that the public can enjoy. Most conscientious promoters, security firms and planners perform their jobs properly and create a secure and safe environment for all while attending these events. But unfortunately, there are many that seem more concerned with the bottom line than the safety of others, even though it is their responsibility under the law to watch out for the safety of their patrons and to steer clear of personal injuries.

Potential dangers that may lead to tragedy at an event include:

• Tickets of general admission, known as festival seating, can contribute to overcrowding if concert planners don’t limit the number of attendees allowed in the same area
• Large crowds in uncontrolled spaces
• Lack of “H”, “T” or other safety barriers to limit the movement of crowds
• Factors lead to “crowd crush” injuries
• Lacking familiarity with the exits, security offices, medical services and phones
• Capacity of entry gates, lane systems, stairs, ramps, and corridors exceeded by crowd
