Injured at the NBA Finals as a Player or Spectator?
The NBA Finals represent the culmination of games that whittle out the weak and only preserve the best of the best. The match is watched by millions around the world, and the sport is estimated to be in the tens of billions with regard to valuation. The tickets to this game could set you back a couple of months of rent, but this still doesn’t stop the fans from packing the arena as the two teams battle it out in a show of both agility and dominance. By winning the finals, players from either team can either be relegated to Legendary status or oblivion, depending on where they stand when the final whistle is blown.
That said, even when the event promises electric competitions and unbelievable shots, not everything goes as planned, and individuals, whether the players or spectators, get injured. These injuries can be as catastrophic as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, to crush injuries and internal organ damage. That said, the event’s organizers, when accosted by the injured party or their loved ones, point to the fact that all participants signed waivers which are printed on the back of tickets or are baked into their sports contract; this waiver explicitly states that individuals engaging in this sport in one way or another assume the risk of injury and that the organization shall not be held legally liable for the same.
However, it is important to note that these waivers cannot be enforced when there is evidence of placing the championship over the long-term health of their players, or the spectator, who, for example, fell several feet and broke their back because the railing had not been maintained for years. This is known as foreseeable negligence, and it is something that we, as your best NBA injury attorneys, can help you with. If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury at the NBA Finals or any other major sporting event, read on to find out how we can help get you compensated for your injuries, helping to get you on the fast track to health and emotional closure.

How Catastrophic Injuries Occur at the NBA Finals and Who May Be Held Liable
- Player injuries – The famous case of Kevin Durant, who was pressured by the medical staff and management for his team to play through a right calf injury, led to the tearing of his Achilles tendon, requiring over a year of recovery and putting into question whether he would ever play again. In this context, ignoring a player’s severe injuries and pressuring them to play on may be grounds for a medical malpractice suit where defendants may be the team entity, its physicians, the athletic trainers and physical therapy, and the team ownership and management, to name a few.
- Spectator injuries which can occur in a number of ways such as falling from an upper deck when the railing that was meant to be repaired weeks ago gives way, slipping and falling in the restroom area where a puddle of water was left to linger for hours on end, having a camera rig fall on you due to inadequate maintenance or even getting trampled due to a crowd surge during post-game celebrations. Defendants in such instances include the arena operator, the facility management company, the security contractor, the team entity, the NBA League Office, equipment manufacturers, and so on.
