Common Causes Of Injuries At Live Concert Events

Accidental injuries can occur due to several reasons at live concerts, such as:

• Lack of security to control crowds
• Overcrowded concerts
• Poorly secured lights, sound equipment, cables, and cords
• Improper and faulty stage setup

• Other concert attendees’ actions, like stage rushing, crowd surfing, and assaults

Who Is Responsible For Concert Event Injuries?

Determining who is responsible for your concert event injuries depends on the specific circumstances of your case. For slips and falls, the event venue or the owners could be responsible for not maintaining the facility or providing sufficient warning signs. For crowd control issues, the security company could be liable. In certain cases, the concert promoter, performers, equipment manufacturers, and other vendors could be responsible.  

What Should I Do If I Am Injured At A Concert? 

• Notify security or venue management to file an injury report
• Seek medical treatment even when injuries seem minor
• Call the police and file a police report
• Take pictures and videos of the accident scene and your injuries
• Document what occurred and how you were injured
• Attempt to gather contact details for any witnesses
• Schedule a free consultation with an event injury attorney 

Your health and well-being should always be prioritized, especially if your personal injuries are severe. So, do as many of these things as possible without putting yourself in further danger or causing your injuries to worsen.  

When Should I Consult With A Premises Liability Attorney In Las Vegas? 

It is recommended that you speak to one of our premises liability attorneys in Las Vegas as soon as possible. We can offer you sound legal advice on what steps you should take next to ensure you receive the monetary compensation you deserve. 

You should also consult with one of our injury lawyers if the responsible party’s insurance party has contacted you and wants you to give a statement or has made an initial settlement offer. Insurance companies are notorious for using tactics to get you to admit partial fault, use your statements against you to devalue or deny your claim, or offer a very small settlement when you are entitled to more.   

How Can A Concert Accident Attorney Help With My Injury Claim?

When people are injured at a concert, determining who is responsible is not always clear-cut. There could be multiple parties responsible for your injuries, including:

• The concert event venue and owners
• The band, musician, or stage performers
• The company/vendor that set up the venue
• The concert sponsors
• The security company hired for the concert
• The manufacturer of sound and light equipment or other stadium components
• Other concert attendees

You only have a limited amount of time to file your injury claim. If you file it against the wrong party, you waste valuable time. You also run the risk of the statute of limitations expiring. If it does, then you cannot seek any damages whatsoever.

• Advocates your case at trial, when necessary

How Long Does It Take To Settle Event Injury Claims?

The amount of time it takes to settle an event injury claim depends on the following:

• Specific circumstances of your case
• The extent of your injuries
• How willing the responsible party and their insurance company are to reach a reasonable settlement

Generally, most concert event injury cases settle within six months, sometimes faster. However, for more complex cases or when the insurance company is using delay tactics or refuses to settle and requires going to trial, it could take up to a year or possibly longer. 

What Types Of Damages Can I Claim?

You can claim monetary compensation for damages related to your injury, including:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation expenses

• Lost wages
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
