AEG Presents Concert Injury Lawsuit Attorney

AEG Presents is a Los Angeles-based live entertainment company that promotes and manages live music events all over the world. As a concert promoter, they are responsible for many aspects of an event, including security measures, hiring staff and vendors, and ensuring that they are in compliance with local and state laws. If they are lax in any of their duties, an accident can occur at a concert or music festival.

If you’ve been injured at an AEG Presents promoted concert, the company may be responsible for your financial and emotional losses. A concert-related accident can also result in fatalities, as we’ve recently seen with the Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. As a family member or loved one of a concert injury victim, you may be able to sue AEG Presents for wrongful death compensation. However, both of these legal actions are complicated, as there are many parties that may be responsible in a concert injury lawsuit.

Can I Sue AEG Presents for being Injured at a Concert?

Yes, you can sue AEG Presents for being harmed at one of their concerts if you can show that your injuries were caused by the company’s negligence. In order to prove a case of negligence, you would have to show that the promoter had a duty of care to ensure your safety, which includes many responsibilities when it comes to a live event. If AEG breached their duty of care to you by creating a hazard or not taking care of a hazardous situation, they may be liable for your physical and mental injuries.

It’s possible that other parties are involved in your accident, as various organizations have to work together in order to stage a concert. A security firm, for example, may be responsible if someone sneaks in a weapon that is used to hurt or kill someone. Artists can be responsible as well, which is currently the situation with Travis Scott and Drake, who are being sued for encouraging dangerous actions that led to injuries and fatalities at Astroworld.

Consulting a lawyer is the best way to determine who is responsible for your accident, or for the death of your loved one. For more information on your legal rights, please give us a call at your earliest convenience.

Potential Accidents at an AEG Presents Promoted Concert 

It’s inevitable that injuries will happen when hundreds to thousands of people are packed together at a concert venue. These people are excited from the moment they arrive at the venue, and that energy can become dangerous when people are drinking or under the influence of drugs. With all this in mind, a concert promoter must take all reasonable actions to prevent injuries, including adequate security measures and a plan for dealing with emergencies. If they breach their duty in any of these areas, people at a concert can be harmed in one of the following ways: 

• Crushing / trampling accidents

A concert venue has a capacity limit to help prevent incidents like crushing and trampling. When these injuries happen, the most common reason is lax security measures that allow too many people into the venue. People can also sneak in throughout the event, which can lead to overcrowding and fights, as people push forward to be close to the stage.

• Assault and battery 

Fights are one of the biggest injury causing accidents at concerts, and they’re not always preventable in spite of a concert promoter’s best efforts. However, measures can be taken to minimize injuries in the event of a fight. For example, a screening procedure can be in place to check people for weapons and drugs before they are allowed into the venue.

• Mosh pit accidents 

Mosh pits involve aggressive dancing by a group of people, usually in the front rows of a concert. Dancers may push or crash into other people, which can easily cause a fight. Security should be monitoring the crowd at all times to resolve dangerous conditions and deescalate fights among attendees.

• Slip and fall / Trip and Fall 

Floors at concert venues are always sticky and slippery due to the number of people walking around with drinks. Staff should be maintaining the premises to catch hazards that can lead to a fall-related accident.

• Sexual assault 

Sadly, sexual assaults are one of the most common incidents at a concert or music festival. Dark lighting, loud music, and free flowing alcohol are just some of the factors that increase the risk of sexual assault at a live event. 

• Heat exhaustion 

Heat-related injuries occur frequently at concerts, especially at outdoor events during the spring and summer. As temperatures rise and people are left in the hot sun for hours at a time, there is great potential for injuries like dehydration, heat stroke, and severe sunburn.

• Alcohol poisoning 

Alcohol is available at many concerts, and this can lead to all sorts of accidents that can injure or kill people. Vendors and staff members must ensure that people are not overserved alcohol, which can lead to alcohol poisoning, as well as fights and drunk driving accidents.

If you were a victim of any of the following accidents at an AEG Presents promoted concert, contact the lawyers of Normandie without delay. You may be able to sue the concert promoter for your injuries, along with third parties like vendors, the security company, and the owner of the venue. Compensable injuries include emotional trauma, which is commonly associated with sexual assault. Monetary funds can be recovered for emotional distress, even if you have little to no physical injury. A sexual assault lawsuit attorney at our law firm can help you recover damages for mental health disorders like depression and PTSD.
