If you’ve been injured in a public place, contact this Fort Lauderdale Stadium and Theatre Accident Attorney. Unfortunately, accidents happen in stadiums and theatres every day. This is because such places are so busy and often crowded. People leave things on the floor, knock each-other over, etc. If you’ve been injured in a stadium or theatre, you might be able to pursue a case.
Who your case is against will depend on the nature of your accident. For example, if the dangerous condition that caused your accident and injuries involved a fixture at the property (i.e., something that was fixed/permanent and not temporary), then your case will typically be against the property landlord. This is because the tenant at the property typically does not have the ability or authority to make changes to fixtures. So, if your accident and injuries were caused by a dangerous condition involving a step, stair or other permanent condition at a stadium or theatre, then your case will typically be against the owner of the property.

On the other hand, if your accident and injuries were caused by a dangerous condition that was transitory (i.e., temporary), then your case will typically be against the tenant. After all, this is because the landlord doesn’t typically have the ability to fix temporary conditions on the property. For example, if you slipped on water on the floor of a stadium or theatre, your case will typically be against the tenant (the athletic/sporting team, the band, etc.).
Additionally, frequently maintenance companies are hired to maintain and keep stadiums and theatres clean. If a maintenance company doesn’t properly do their job and you are injured as a result, then your case may be against the maintenance company.
Other attendees to a sporting event or show may also cause you injuries. For example, you may be pushed over, shoved, tripped or otherwise injured accidentally. In this case, you may be able to pursue a case directly against the person who caused your injuries. Additionally, if the tenant (i.e., the athletic/sporting team or band) may be responsible if it somehow allowed the accident. For example, if large groups/masses of people were allowed to congregate and not properly directed to their seats, then the sporting/athletic team or band could be responsible if you are hurt in the bustle.
Other attendees may also intentionally injure you (i.e., commit assault and battery). In this case, the athletic/sporting team or band will not typically be liable – unless it somehow allowed the crime to occur. This can happen, for example, if the criminal was served too much alcohol at the event or if the athletic/sporting or band didn’t provide enough security to deter crime (this would be called a negligent security case). Negligent security cases can result from incidents occurring in parking lots and garages, as well as in the actual stadium or theatre.
Occasionally, stadium and theatre attendees are injured by an activity involved in the actual event. For example, baseballs at a baseball game may fly into the crowd and injure attendees. If the baseball team and stadium don’t take proper precautions to prevent this, then they may be responsible.
