It is summertime and people are attending baseball games, soccer games, and an array of other sporting events these days, which has led to us getting the question: “What happens if I got injured at a ballgame?” Well, it is going to depend on how the injury happened to you.
If it is something where you are sitting in the bleachers, nobody has been maintaining them, they are in bad disrepair, and it collapses, yes, you are probably going to have a claim against them, because they have a duty to maintain the property.
On the other hand, if it is something like you got beaned by a foul ball coming your way, you are probably not going to have a claim, because it is an inherit risk. It is a risk that you take by going to a baseball game that a three-inch ball might bean you in the head.
Now, if the person did it on purpose, you can maybe bring a claim against them, but their insurance company is not going to get involved and give any money to you, because they do not like to protect people for intentionally injuring other people.
So, it depends upon your individual situation. You call always call and ask. Call or text us at (612) 465-8733 to go over your options.
