Bleacher Accidents
Bleachers are typically used to enjoy a sporting event, however, in the past they have been the cause of some serious injuries. Their structure is not always safe for people to use, and in this case, you may sue the owner of the bleachers or its manufacturer in a personal injury case.
What types of accidents can occur from bleachers?
There are many types of accidents that can occur from the structure or surface of bleachers being unsafe for many people or even one person to use. The surface of bleachers does not always provide sufficient traction, which can cause a person to slip and fall and get injured. This can end in broken bones, a concussion, some bruising, and more. This is especially worse if inclement weather conditions has made it particularly icy or wet to walk on.
More commonly, all bleachers have large openings behind where the feet of someone sitting are. This often poses a great danger to children since there is no guard to someone falling through the back of one of these openings. Especially from a great height, the injuries as a result of this may be very severe and almost certainly cause bone fractures or breakage. Similarly, bleachers may be built to only take a lower amount of weight which can be inappropriate for the occasions that its owner may use them for. So, a set of bleachers as a whole is capable of collapsing from a large amount of people using it. This can cause very severe and collective damages to a large group of people.
Who is to blame?
The possible types of injuries that can come from a bleacher accident can range from bruises and scrapes all the way to broken bones to traumatic brain damage. Someone is to blame for these bleachers being insufficient to safely allow people to sit in peace. You will be able to sue the owner and/or the manufacturer of the bleachers. The owner should have taken proper precautions to ensure that it was safe enough for the purposes that he or she bought it for. Meanwhile, the manufacturer is responsible for structural flaws that do not support the safety of its users, especially in large quantities.
