What should I do if I’m injured at a local event or sports game?

Hope it never happens, but if you’re ever injured at a Buffalo Bills game or at any other sort of public stadium, the first thing you want to do is take account of your surroundings, your location within the stadium, and what the condition was that you slipped or tripped and hurt yourself on. It’s going to be necessary to know all of those things later, but we’re always able to go back and do an investigation and determine these things. But as best as you can, it’s important to take note of these things. The second thing that you should do is be aware of what witnesses may be around you. Any friends or family that were with you and are able to comment on the condition or how and why you fell. And this doesn’t have to be limited to friends and family also. It could be to any other individuals that were around you. Take note. And if you need to and if you can get contact information. Another thing you should do is let the stadium know. All stadiums have some sort of guest services. They also have security guards all over the place. Let somebody know so that an investigation can begin and that your incident has been memorialized. After that, seek medical attention if you’re experiencing symptoms of pain or any sort of limiting disability to your body. Finally, contact us. There can be very rigorous deadlines that apply to cases that happen, incidents that happen at stadiums. Often times, stadiums are owned or managed by some sort of state or municipal entity. And when that’s the case, the deadlines are much shorter for filing your case than they would against any other sort of private owner. So, you need to reach out to attorney right away. Make sure your rights are protected and that you’re meeting the deadlines in protecting your case.
