The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has hosted many superb events, and you could almost say that it is an attraction all its own, like any venue that can hold thousands of visitors at a time. Nevertheless, the twin specters of accident and injury are always lurking about. Here’s what to do if you suffer a personal injury.
Types of Injuries That Commonly Occur at Large Public Arenas
The most common types of personal injuries that occur in large public arenas include:
- Slip and fall accidents;
- Assault injuries;
- Injuries from falling objects;
- Trampling or crowd surge injuries
Many other types of injury are also possible.
What to Do at the Scene of the Accident
Take the following actions in the aftermath of the accident before you leave the arena:
- Seek medical attention: Arena staff may administer first aid. Additionally, you should go to the hospital ASAP if your body suffered any impact (even if you don’t believe you were injured). Some injuries produce late-breaking symptoms.
- Report the incident to security or management: Ask them to write an official incident report and provide you with a copy.
- Take photos: Photograph anything that might be useful as evidence.
- Get contact information from witnesses. You or your lawyer will need to interview them later.
- Do not admit fault or sign anything. Speak to a lawyer before agreeing to reach a settlement.
Write out your own version of the accident as soon as you can before your memories fade. You might need to wait until your medical condition stabilizes or at least until emergency first aid measures are complete.
Talk to a Lawyer and Gather Evidence
Your lawyer should know how to gather relevant evidence. They might interview witnesses to your accident, for example, research Nevada personal injury law, obtain surveillance footage of your accident, etc.
Formulate Your Claim
The earlier you get a lawyer involved, the sooner your claim is likely to settle. You’re also likely to settle for a lot more money than you’d be able to settle for if you represented yourself. Your lawyer will know how to combine the relevant facts and law to generate a claim and a specific dollar amount of damages.
Who Do You File Your Claim Against?
It is the joint venture of AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group) and MGM Resorts International that you would typically sue if your case went to court. If, on the other hand, you sought to file an insurance claim, you would look for the general liability insurance policy held by the joint venture.
Other possible defendants include:
- The employee whose negligence caused your injury;
- The event organizer or promoter;
- A third-party vendor or contractor;
- A security company
This list of possible defendants is nowhere near complete. So much depends on the facts of your particular case. Talk to a lawyer to identify all potentially liable parties.
Send a Demand Letter
Send a demand letter to the party responsible for paying your claim. Your letter should include a description of the accident, your damages, and a verbal justification of your claim. It should also include supporting documentation such as medical records.
It’s best to have a lawyer draft it and send it in their own name. Hopefully, this will commence the claim negotiation process without you having to file a lawsuit.
A Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help if You’re Injured at the T-Mobile Arena
You might imagine that you can’t afford a personal injury lawyer. After all, you may have trouble paying your medical bills and other expenses after an accident. Fear not.
Under the personal injury lawyer contingency fee system, you only pay legal fees if you win. Your legal fees will amount to a certain percentage of your total compensation.
Consult a personal injury lawyer immediately after being injured at the T-Mobile Arena to protect your rights.
