Common Accidents at Angel Stadium

When you think about accidents at a baseball stadium, being hit with a baseball may be the first thing that comes to mind. This is one of the most serious ways to be harmed during a game, as blunt force trauma from a baseball can cause concussions and traumatic brain injuries. But there are many other ways you can be injured at Angel Stadium:

• Slip and falls – along with trip and falls, these are the most common sources of bodily harm on a commercial property. During a game, there is no shortage of things that can end up on the ground or floor. If hazards like spilled drinks, food, debris, water from leaking pipes, and ice and snow in the parking lot are not cleared away, visitors can easily fall down and suffer one or more serious injuries.
• Falling objects – aside from baseballs, people can be struck with a number of objects that are on the premises. Signs, poster frames, and light fixtures are just some of the items that can strike someone on the head or another vulnerable part of their body. Out of control fans – especially those that are intoxicated – can also cause injuries by hurling beer cans, alcohol bottles, cell phones, and other dangerous objects.
• Assault and battery – this category includes physical altercations, threats / intimidation, and sexual assault. These incidents are likely to occur at sports stadiums and other venues that serve alcohol. Well-trained security in adequate numbers is essential to keeping people safe from acts of assault and battery.
• Parking lot accidents – alcohol can play a part in these accidents as well, but negligence by the stadium can easily result in car crashes and injuries to pedestrians. Unclear traffic signs, potholes, obstructions that block people’s view, and overserving of alcohol are just some of the issues that can lead to a parking lot accident.
• Concert accidents – Crushing and trampling can seriously injure or kill spectators at a concert, as evidenced from the Astroworld tragedy in November 2021. These accidents usually occur from people trying to move closer to the stage, crowd surfing, or dancing aggressively (mosh pits). Overdrinking and encouragement of dangerous behaviors by fans or the artists are often behind these incidents.

Possible Injuries from an Angel Stadium Accident

Though we can’t cover every single injury that can be sustained on the grounds of Angel Stadium, here are the most common forms of damage that you can end up with:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Soft tissues injuries
• Traumatic brain injury
• Hip / pelvic fracture
• Knee injury (dislocated kneecap, tendon /ligament tear)

• Puncturing / rupturing of internal organs

You may feel tempted to go home right after your accident, but this can be a grave mistake, as many injuries can turn into a permanent disability without proper care. You may also develop mental health disorders (PTSD, insomnia, depression) from the emotional trauma of your accident. Putting off treatment for these issues can make the problem worse, so don’t hesitate to seek help from a mental health counselor. Finally, speak to a personal injury attorney, who can help you get justice for your harm and suffering.

Can I Sue Angel Stadium for an Accident on their Property?

If your accident at Angel Stadium was caused by an act of negligence by the stadium owners, mangers, or staff, you can demand compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. As for what counts as negligence by a property owner, there are many examples that fall under this category. Essentially, you would need to prove that there were reasonable actions that could have been taken to prevent you from being harmed. For example, if you fell on a spilled drink that was left on the floor, with no warning signs to indicate the hazard, you may have grounds for a slip and fall injury claim.

However, it can be complicated to determine liability in certain cases, like ones involving sexual assault. Generally, Angel Stadium is responsible for incidents on their property, but these places often hire private security firms to oversee their events. Thus, if negligence by an outside company caused you to be assaulted, that business may be the party that’s liable for your injuries.

Our attorneys will investigate your accident and determine the right party to go after. Through a successful lawsuit, you can be compensated for medical expenses, lost income, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and the cost of personal belonging that were damaged in the accident. If you’ve lost a loved one to an Angel Stadium accident, compensation may be available to you as well in the form of wrongful death benefits. This type of legal action helps family members and spouses recover funeral expenses, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and various other damages resulting from their loved one’s death.

Average Case Value for an Accident at Angel Stadium

There’s no way to attribute an average value that fits accident cases at Angel Stadium in general. How much you can receive from an injury claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the degree of negligence by the responsible party, and many other issues that are specific to your case. For moderate injuries, settlement values may fall within $150,000 to $500,000, while serious accident claims may be worth $1 million to several million dollars. Serious cases typically involve long-term complications, like disability, disfigurement, and severe emotional trauma. As there are so many factors involved, we recommend that you give us a call for a one-on-one consultation at our law firm.

How long will it take to Recover my Payment?

Settling your case as fast as possible is out top priority, and for some claimants, that can happen in just a few months. On the other hand, some cases take several years to resolve, depending on the necessary legal actions. Most cases are settled without court intervention, meaning we can negotiate a settlement directly with the stadium’s insurance company. This process can take a year or more, depending on your case value, the type of injuries you have, and the level of negligence by the defendant. But major venues like Angel Stadium will not make it easy for you to recover the damages you’re entitled to. At some point, a lawsuit may need to be filed to ensure that you do not exceed the statute of limitations, which we will explain in the upcoming section. Once we are at the lawsuit phase, the case resolution process can take two or more years.

Is there a Deadline to Sue Angel Stadium for my Injuries?

Statute of limitations is a set amount of time that’s given by the courts to take legal action against a party that has harmed you. In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim, though the statute of limitations may be longer for certain types of injuries. It’s essential to verify the deadline for your case with an experienced attorney. If you exceed the SOL to file a lawsuit, you may permanently lose the right to sue for compensation, even if you have a rock solid case.
