If you or a loved one got hurt while visiting Hard Rock Stadium, you should immediately find a stadium employee who can call 911 or assist you in filing a report about the incident and injury. Thousands of people attend events at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens throughout the year. Whether they go to see a Miami Dolphins game, a Super Bowl matchup, or a concert by some of today’s biggest entertainers, they could get hurt while on the premises.
You should get a written copy of the stadium injury report and accept medical help if it is apparent that you need it. Tell first responders where you hurt yourself and allow them to administer aid. You should answer questions directly but avoid giving too much information that could make someone think you caused your injury. After your accident, a Miami personal injury lawyer can review your legal options with you if you think the stadium acted negligently and caused your accident.
When Is a Stadium Responsible for Your Injuries?
When guests buy a ticket to enter Hard Rock Stadium, they “knowingly and voluntarily” assume the risks, hazards, and dangers of the event and related events. This includes the risk of injury, according to its Hard Rock Stadium Ticketback Terms. Guests should be aware of these terms and understand them upon entering the venue.
However, all stadium parks have safety protocols in place. They must legally make every effort to prevent or eliminate any dangerous conditions on the grounds when hosting guests. This includes warning guests about any unseen dangers or assessing situations to guard against potential dangers. If an injured stadium-goer can prove the venue acted negligently, they can prevail in their case for damages.
Proving Negligence If Hard Rock Stadium Caused Your Accident
To prove negligence, a plaintiff must show the following occurred:
- The stadium owed the injured guests a duty of care to keep them safe during their visit.
- The stadium breached its duty of care when a dangerous or unsafe condition existed on the premises.
- The stadium knew about or should have reasonably known about the dangerous or unsafe condition and failed to take action to fix it or remove it.
- The dangerous or unsafe condition injured the guest, and as a result, they incurred quantifiable damages.
If all four elements are present in a case, injured parties can take legal action against the stadium.
