Metro Atlanta is well known for several concert venues and is a location frequently on many artists’ concert lineups. Especially as the weather gets warmer, more and more people will travel to Cobb County and surrounding area venues for events and entertainment.
While these events can be tremendous fun, they also have the potential for significant personal injury. Perhaps the most well known instance of this happened at a 1979 rock concert for The Who. A crowd rushed the stage, causing 11 deaths and 27 additional injuries. At a Pearl Jam concert in 2000, nine people died and 26 more were injured when a stage collapsed following a group of fans rushing the stage.
The attorneys and Jones & Swanson have represented victims injured at concert venues as a result of the negligence of other parties. The sheer number of attendees, as well as environmental circumstances such as alcohol, can lead to unsafe circumstances. Crowds can easily lead to falls and other incidents that leave victims with injuries.
Typical venues incorporate safety standards as a precaution to attempt to prevent injuries to visitors. Unfortunately, these can sometimes be lacking. Examples might include defective guardrails or an excess number of attendees in violation of fire codes.
Regardless of the cause of an injury at an entertainment venue, a personal injury lawsuit is possible. It will be necessary to prove the negligence of either a person or the venue owners.
