Injured at The Super Bowl? Know How to Get Compensated

The Super Bowl can be likened to our Roman Gladiators event, and it is the single largest annual sporting event in the country, with over 70,000 attendants flying from all over the country to get in on the action, as well as millions more crowding up the surrounding host city for concerts, celebrations, and festivities. It is estimated that the NFL makes over $500 million from the Super Bowl, with corporate sponsors paying $7 million per thirty-second commercial.

The ticket prices can be as high as what an average American family makes in a year, but this still doesn’t faze people from purchasing and attending. Going to the Super Bowl can be likened to going for the Islamic Pilgrimage or a Pilgrimage to Israel – something you have to do once in a lifetime, but only a few get to do it.

That said, the Super Bowl isn’t just pomp and fanfare; things can and do take a dark turn when individuals get injured whether as players or spectators – players may be forced to power through a sprain only leading to a catastrophic injury thirty minutes later, or spectators getting injured when a barrier gives way due to crowd surges and excitement upon seeing a performing artist like Beyonce or Bruno Mars walking past them, pointing to poor or insufficient security or crowd control.

When it comes to such injuries, the NFL and other corporate sponsors named as possible defendants will either chalk it up to an act of God, blame it on you, or point to the fact that your football contract or the ticket you purchased had a waiver embedded in it stating that you assumed the risk of probable injury when you decided to engage in the sport in one way or the other.

However, the concept of foreseeable negligence almost always applies in all these instances, meaning that with an experienced Super Bowl injuries attorney, it may be possible to recover compensation – read on to find out how our best NFL injury lawyers can help get you the justice and compensation you are owed should you get injured at the Super Bowl through no fault of your own.

How Injuries Happen at the Super Bowl and Who’s Responsible

  1. Stadium Falling Debris – The combination of many moving parts, such as individuals finding their seats, the complex lighting rigs, and the elaborate halftime shows, must all work in tandem to ensure everything goes as planned. However, if installation is rushed, and when the inspection is substandard, or the material used is past its repair schedule date, spectators may have electronic objects falling on them, or even get crushed by, for example, a lighting truss, resulting in head and back injuries as well as internal injuries and broken bones. Defendants are usually the stadium operator, the NFL, the installation contractor, the inspection contractor, or even the equipment manufacturer.
  2. Crowd Management Failure – 70,000 spectators all accessing a stadium simultaneously requires god-level security and crowd control as well as rigid protocols meant to ensure that the crowds enter in an orderly fashion. However, when protocols are non-existent, egress routes are blocked, and security personnel are understaffed, then crush incidents causing compressive asphyxia result, leading to the loss of life. In such instances, defendants may be the security contractor, the NFL, the stadium operator, and even the local law enforcement agencies.
