Woman Falls Through Canopy at Hollywood Bowl – Hollywood Bowl Injury Attorney

No matter the music venue, fans are typically not allowed onstage unless directly invited by the artist. Even then, they are escorted onstage by management or by security. Most fans that try to get onstage fail – and they get tackled by security and removed. Without a doubt, there are many different incidents that can occur, which can result in injuries. These incidents can include the following:

• Falling from a canopy
• Falling off stage (after not seeing the edge of the stage)
• Falling to the floor after crowd surfing (or attempting to crowd surf)
• Tripping going up or down steps to or from the stage
• Tripping on wires onstage
• Slipping onstage

All of these incidents can result in various injuries. Some of these injuries can include head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, broken ribs, broken legs, broken arms, dislocations, crushing injuries, nerve injuries, ligament injuries, lacerations, sprains/strains, scrapes, and bruises, for instance.

No matter the specific incident suffered and resulting injuries, victims could have grounds to file lawsuits.

In addition to incidents directly related with fans getting or trying to get onstage, fans can suffer other incidents at music venues. These other incidents can include slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, falling object incidents, assault and battery, sexual assault incidents, etc. All of these incidents can result in significant injuries. No matter whether you were injured trying to get onstage or in another incident at the Hollywood Bowl or another music venue, you could have the right to file a lawsuit.

Yes – you could have the right to sue for the injuries that you suffered at the Hollywood Bowl. Whether you were injured because you attempted to get on the stage, someone else attempted to get on the stage, etc., you could have the right to sue.

All property owners – including the owners of music venues – have a duty to ensure that their entire premises are free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents. In addition, it is important that property owners have the staff necessary to enforce their rules. That is, they must have adequate security to prevent any fans from going onstage and potentially hurting themselves or others in the premises. What if fans get onstage even with adequate security? Even if fans are able to get onstage, there should be no hazards that could lead to incidents.

Let’s go back to the incident that happened at the Hollywood Bowl. The fan was able to get onstage and fell through the canopy that the artist was also on. In this situation, it was likely that the canopy was flimsy or not installed correctly. Even though the fan was definitely in the wrong in getting on the canopy in the first place, she probably would not have fallen if the canopy was sturdier, for instance.

When the negligent actions of a victim directly contribute to the incident and his or her injuries, then the victim is comparatively negligent. In other words, the victim’s negligent or reckless actions directly contributed to the incident. Can you still sue if you are found to be partially at fault for the incident? Yes – you can still sue. However, the total payout will be reduced by the percentage that the victim is found to be comparatively negligent. For instance, if the victim is found to be 45% negligent, then the total recovery will be reduced by this percentage.

Without a doubt, this is a complex concept. If you have questions about comparative negligence and the legal options available to you, contact us today.
