Formula 1 Trip And Fall Attorney

When you think about attending a Formula 1 race held on the streets of a local city, you assume that there will be few safety concerns as pedestrians traverse those streets daily. However, there are many added features and challenges that come with converting city streets to a race course for high-performance vehicles. Race fans must be aware of these hazards that could result in painful and costly injuries:

• Unmarked or poorly marked steps, ramps, or curbs as foot traffic is rerouted around the race course
• Water lines or other hoses used by vendors for drinks and dishwashing
• Electrical cords and large cables are used for power and to operate the many cameras and essential timing technology used on the Formula 1 course
• Litter and debris dropped on walkways
• Uneven or damaged pavement
• Worn, damaged, or odd-sized steps used to accommodate foot traffic in seating areas and bleachers
• Dark areas with little or no light making it difficult to safely navigate the space early or late in the day
• Merchandise or freestanding displays blocking traffic areas
• Trashcans or other obstructions that are left in walkways

Sadly, many race fans suffer injuries from these trip and fall hazards even when they are being careful and trying to watch the ground around their path. The massive crowds of people and tight walking spaces can make even a short walk in the Formula 1 race area a severe safety concern for guests.

When you visualize a trip and fall incident, you think of something that results in minor injuries but nothing too severe. However, when that trip and fall occurs in a space that has been quickly built to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people attempting to watch a Formula 1 race, many added hazards and concerns could result in severe injuries, such as:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Joint dislocations and severe injury to the soft connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds that could involve damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Soft tissue and permanent nerve damage
• Harm to the delicate skin on the face as well as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth
• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
• Injuries to the head ranging from skull fractures or brain bleeds to traumatic brain injuries

Even if the Formula 1 trip and fall injuries you suffer appear to be minor, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure that the shock and adrenaline created by your body during trauma do not mask any injuries that require treatment.

Premises liability laws were created to ensure the safety of guests at all public and private properties. These guidelines define the expectations when building and maintaining spaces, as well as the requirements of the owner or their staff to regularly inspect the space and make any needed repairs that pose a safety issue. Duty of care goes on to define the level of care that must be provided when a safety issue is discovered by the staff or reported to them by a guest of the property.

It states that the action taken by the staff must be at least what the average prudent person would provide when facing a similar safety hazard. For example, if you see water spilled on the floor at your home or litter dropped on the floor, you would immediately correct the issues to prevent anyone from suffering a slip and fall or trip and fall injury. If you could not promptly correct or eliminate the hazard, you would ensure others could not access the space. This is also expected of the staff at a Formula 1 race if they find a trip and fall hazard.

If the staff fail to swiftly and appropriately address any trip and fall safety hazards, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if the negligence is later determined to have caused or contributed to a fan suffering a trip and fall injury, the owner of the property or business can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Please contact the DTLA Law Group team today if you feel that negligence was a factor in the trip and fall injuries you suffered at the Grand Prix of Long Beach Formula 1 race.
