Concert Accident Victims Deserve Strong Legal Support
Thousands enjoy Austin’s vibrant music scene, from intimate indoor venues to major festivals like South by Southwest and Austin City Limits. As the “Live Music Capital of the World,” the city hosts over 250 live music venues and countless events throughout the year, making safety measures crucial for everyone’s protection. While most events deliver safe entertainment, accidents can harm attendees.
If a person has been hurt at a concert, they have two years to take legal action in Texas. These injuries can affect their health, work and daily life in ways they didn’t expect. Breeland Injury Law, PLLC, helps victims of concert injuries pursue their legal rights, guiding them through every step of recovery. Attorney Matt Breeland’s background in both insurance defense and injury law gives him the knowledge and experience necessary to help clients understand their rights and pursue fair compensation after concert injuries.
Understanding Concert Safety Risks
One of the most recent concert incidents in Texas was the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy in Houston, where 10 people lost their lives due to overcrowding and inadequate crowd control. This led the state to strengthen its venue safety requirements. Matt knows these enhanced safety measures and will thoroughly investigate every factor that contributed to a client’s injury.
Here are common safety failures that can lead to injuries.
- Venues packing in more people than safely allowed
- Poor maintenance of walkways, stairs and seating areas
- Too few emergency exits or blocked escape routes
- Improperly secured equipment above crowded areas
- Too few security staff members for the crowd size
These safety risks aren’t just theoretical. Texas sets clear rules for concert venues to protect attendees, which can prevent serious injuries and save lives.
Determining Concert Injury Liability
In Texas, a person can seek compensation even if they are partly at fault, as long as they’re not mostly responsible for their injury. Depending on the circumstances of their accident, several parties may be responsible for a concert-goer’s safety:
- Venue owners who must keep the property safe
- Event organizers who plan and manage the crowd
- Security teams trained to prevent dangerous situations
- Equipment crews who set up stages and sound systems
- Property managers who maintain the venue
Matt’s experience helps him identify who failed to protect a client’s safety and hold them accountable.
Getting The Compensation You Deserve
Concert injuries create heavy burdens. Medical bills pile up. Lost work means lost wages. The victim may also face ongoing health challenges. Breeland Injury Law, PLLC, helps clients seek compensation for:
- Medical care
- Physical therapy
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
Matt works hard to prove a client’s losses and fights for fair compensation through skilled negotiation or court action.
