Liability for Long Beach Music Concert Accidents
Property owners in California have a legal obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. Under California Civil Code 1714, “ Everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts, but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her want of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, except so far as the latter has, willfully or by want of ordinary care, brought the injury upon himself or herself.” There are many steps property owners should take to prevent guests from being injured on their premises.
- Inspections: Property owners should regularly inspect and maintain all walkways and common areas.
- Warning Signs: Property owners should place warning signs around any potential hazard that is not able to be immediately fixed.
- Safety Codes: Property owners must adhere to all building and safety codes, particularly for high-risk areas.
- Training: Property owners should train all of their employees to identify hazards and respond quickly to remediate any hazardous condition.
If a property owner has actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous condition on their premises, they must take action. Failing to take action to correct a hazardous condition can be the basis for a negligence claim. One of the most common hazardous conditions at public venues is tripping hazards. Falls remain one of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries. Another major hazard is falling objects. Depending on the exact circumstances of any accident, there could be multiple liable parties if someone is injured at a concert.
Preserving Evidence After Any Accident at a Music Concert
Accidents at music concerts are much more common than many people realize. According to one study in Research Gate, “During the ten year period from 1992 to 2002, 66, 787 people suffered significant injury and 232 people died at 306 outdoor music concerts around the world. Fatality data over a longer period (1974 to 2003) indicates that at least 136 fatal incidents at concert events have not been scientifically explained. Forty one (41) of these involved persons who died in front of a concert stage.” It is vital that evidence is properly preserved after any accident at a music concert.
- The police report created after the accident should be preserved.
- Surveillance footage that may have captured the incident should be preserved.
- All medical records related to the victim’s injuries should be collected.
- Eyewitnesses should be identified as early as possible.
- The family of any person who died should request an independent investigation by a team experienced in accident reconstruction.
Accidents at music festivals tend to be very preventable. They often involve major safety lapses that get overlooked. Unfortunately, property owners and insurance providers are not likely to admit fault when someone is injured at their venue. It is also common for them to withhold key pieces of evidence like maintenance records unless they are forced to hand them over by subpoena. This is why it is so important that these accidents are properly reviewed by an independent team with legal experience.
