More than 65,000 people pack U.S. Bank Stadium on game days, and the venue is also home to a number of other well-attended events and concerts throughout the year. Although it is one of the newest football stadiums in the country, that doesn’t mean it is perfectly safe. If you or someone you know was injured while attending a game or event at U.S. Bank Stadium, give us a call to learn about your legal options.
Compensation For Injuries At A Vikings Game
Minnesota law requires that the owners of U.S. Bank Stadium keep the stadium and the surrounding areas reasonably safe for attendees. They may not be liable for every injury that occurs, but if they did not hold up their end of the agreement and provide you with reasonably safe conditions, they may be financially responsible for your injury and associated costs.
If you’ve suffered an injury at U.S. Bank Stadium, you may be eligible to collect compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and future earning, pain and suffering and other related expenses. However, you know that the stadium group is going to have a very experienced legal team on their side, which is why you need to do the same. If you’ve been injured while attending a football game or another event at U.S. Bank Stadium, talk to the lawyers at Hey Workers about your options.
Types Of Compensable Injuries
A lot of different factors come into play when determining fault and whether reasonable safety measures were taken, but here’s a look at some examples of injuries that may be compensable under Minnesota injury law.
- Struck by falling equipment
- Burned by overly hot beverages
- Slipped on improperly cleaned surfaces
- Punched by an inebriated fan who had been previously reported to event staff
- Falling over a railing
- Elevator or escalator accidents
These are just a few examples for the types of injuries you may be able to earn compensation for, but it isn’t a full list. Ultimately, if the stadium owners or a secondary group like maintenance crews or event staff failed to uphold their duty of providing a reasonably safe environment for fans, then you may be able to collect damages.
If you are hurt at U.S. Bank Stadium or another venue in the Twin Cities, be sure that you take pictures of the scene and get contact information from any witnesses who can verify your version of events. Also get the names and contact information of any staff or supervisors that assist in the wake of the injury. Finally, it’s a good idea to keep a written record of events and conversations you had regarding your injury in the event you need to recall specific information in the future.
Hopefully you can go to that football game or concert and have a great time, but if an accident occurs, know that you are protected. You have rights, and the big companies need to be held accountable. Learn how we can help build and win your case by contacting Hey Workers today.
