Ohio Lawyers Handling Spectator Injury Cases
At the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we handle a broad spectrum of premises liability cases, including cases involving injuries at spectator sports. Spectators at NASCAR events can be hit by flying debris, and while rare, it is not unheard of for injuries to occur to fans at other sporting events, such as hockey and baseball games. This is particularly the case when arenas fail to install protective screens or fences.
We will find all responsible parties, such as sports arena owners and operators, other fans, promoters of the event, and any other parties, and file suit against them. In order to be successful in your spectator injury case, you must prove four elements:
- That the sports arena or another person or company owed you a duty of reasonable care
- That they failed in this duty when an item, hockey puck, baseball or other item hit you
- That you were injured
- That the failure caused your injuries
In order to prove these elements, the attorneys at Friedman, Domiano & Smith do in-depth research into the facts and laws that may affect your spectator injury case. We interview witnesses to the spectator injury, review medical records and investigate other, similar spectator injury cases.
Deciding Whether or Not to Settle Your Spectator Injury Case
While the lawyers at Friedman, Domiano & Smith have excelled in the courtroom and established a record of success in litigation, the truth is that most personal injury cases settle before trial.
We try hard to resolve claims outside of the courtroom because settlement is generally quicker and less expensive for our clients. However, if your insurance company fails to give an acceptable settlement offer or denies liability altogether, it may be necessary to take your case to trial. We will give you our opinion and best advice about whether or not to settle your spectator injury case. The decision, however, is up to you.
