What is Premise Liability Law?
Premise liability law is the idea that the owner or operator of a property is liable for maintaining a reasonably safe place for someone to be. The entity that owns or manages the property must ensure that it does not pose an unreasonable risk to persons on their property.
Who is liable in premise liability lawsuits?
In the case of a concert venue, the owners of the property, the event organizers, and the actual company running the show during the concert may all be liable for injuries or death on their property during the event in the case of premise liability.
Negligence on Behalf of Venue and Event Organizers
The defendants must be proven negligent to win a premises liability case. The defendants in the case of a music festival may include the festival organizers, event planners, security company, property owners, and the property management companies. These parties could show negligence by failing to provide enough staff for the event; failing to provide a safe number of entrances, exits, and emergency exits; failing to properly control crowds and obey occupancy regulations; failing to provide adequate security measures to ensure safety of guests; not meeting fire codes; failing to provide medical assistance on-site; improperly maintaining their property; lack of bathrooms; creating unsanitary conditions; and more. The key is that the property was not reasonably safe for the attendees or guests.
Most Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Many different kinds of personal injury or death cases can fall under premises liability. Some of the most common personal injury and death cases that fall under premises liability include slip and fall, snow and ice accidents, inadequately maintained premises, defective conditions on the premises, lack of security leading to injury or assault, elevator and escalator accidents, fires, water leaks and flooding, toxic chemicals or fumes, and animal attacks.

“This is a horrific tragedy and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives and were injured. However, Mr. Scott has a history or inciting this type of behavior. The venue obviously didn’t provide the necessary protections for the patrons. In my opinion, this all could have been avoided. This case has similarities to the MGM case I recently resolved. Unfortunately, many kids were killed and injured at this event, which makes this situation more devastating in my mind..”
