Premises Liability for Temporary Structures
When cities or property owners host large outdoor events like parties, festivals, state fairs, weddings, or concerts, they are responsible for maintaining a safe environment for each invited guest who attends. Unfortunately, there is a risk of injury when these parties act negligently. Often, temporary structures play a central role in these events. These large stages, tents, and other structures are constantly built and torn down and if workers fail to properly build and secure them, they could collapse and injure those who are in their vicinity.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury caused by the collapse of a temporary structure, you may be eligible for financial compensation. To speak with an aggressive and experienced legal representative about your options, contact the Philadelphia premises liability lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 215-238-1130.
Structure Collapse
These temporary structures like stages and tents can be extremely large and detailed in design. If a worker is not properly trained, he or she uses worn out or damaged materials, or fails to properly secure the structure, innocent lives could be placed in jeopardy. You may be able to recover the following damages if you are harmed due to this negligence:
- Medical bills for treatment, medication, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages due to missed work time
- Pain and suffering
There is a limited window in which you can pursue legal action, so it is important that you do not delay speaking with a knowledgeable attorney about your legal rights in this troubling circumstance.
