Chicago concert & sporting event injury
lawyers

Many thousands of significant injuries and many hundreds of deaths occur due to failures of crowd-safety at nightclubs, concerts, and festivals including those in Illinois, from Chicago to Danville. The E2 nightclub and Great White concert tragedies are just a few. Sports arenas, concerts, and performance events should be safe, entertaining activities for the public. The majority of planners, promoters, and security firms do a good job to create a secure environment for participants at these events.  But unfortunately, many in management are simply more concerned about profits than they are about safety concerns, even though legally, it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of their patrons. 

Some of the potential dangers that can lead to such an event tragedy include:

• “Crowd crush” injury factors
• Festival seating or general admission tickets may create overcrowding if the concert planners do not specifically limit the amount of people allowed in the area
• Uncontrolled spaces with large crowds
• Capacity of entry gates, ramps, stairs, lane systems, and corridors exceeded by crowd
• Lack of “T”, “H” or other types of safety barriers meant to limit crowd movement
• Lack of familiarity with exits, medical services, security office locations and phones
