Personal Injuries at the Ballpark
Baseball games provide a getaway in which we can relax and enjoy a day or night at the ballpark. Unfortunately, ballparks may present a number of hazards waiting to happen. Contrary to popular belief, interference from the ballgame is not the only potential hazard.
Since ballparks are public venues, the park’s owner is responsible for providing a safe space for people to visit. If you or someone you love was injured at a poorly maintained ballpark, contact the Bronx personal injury lawyers of Parker Waichman, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 for a free initial consultation.
Potential Ballpark Hazards
Ballparks are usually big structures and may attract large crowds. As such, there is a large area to maintain. Since the space is constantly in use, it requires constant maintenance. When an individual fails to uphold this maintenance, innocent visitors may pay the price. Common injuries include:
- Slip and fall injuries
- Head injuries
- Sprained joints and broken bones
- Death
One of the most commonly neglected areas in ballparks is floors. Fans tend to spill drinks, and sometimes no one cleans the spill until the game is over. This may lead to a serious slip and fall accident.
While many ballparks in the past failed to provide enough safety netting to protect fans from stray balls and bats, most ballparks have expanded their netting to properly protect fans. However, this may not be the case in every ballpark, and you or your loved one may suffer a serious injury if hit by a stray ball or bat.
