Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident at The Aloha Beach Festival?
If you slip on a spilled tropical drink that’s ended up on the ground or trip over a cord and suffer a serious injury, and an event owner or operator contributed to the accident, it’s a good idea to have a skilled lawyer at your side from day one.
With an injury like a fracture, a back injury, or brain trauma the medical bills will likely be growing. Insurance adjusters will work even harder to avoid paying you the major settlement you need to recover.
Adjusters will point the finger of blame at you and cast doubt on how serious your injuries are. Your Ventura Aloha Beach Festival accident Lawyer protects you from this unfair treatment and builds a strong case to block these shady tactics. It’s the only proven way to stop an insurer from robbing you of the support you need to recover.
Dangers at the Aloha Beach Festival
The Aloha Beach Festival hulas into Ventura each year at the end of August. The food, music, and vendors put on an amazing event at Promenade Park/Surfers Point near the water.
It’s a festival meant to celebrate Hawaiian culture and island traditions and to raise money for important Ventura County charities and causes. People attending this free fair can enjoy amazing music and dance shows. They can watch dogs compete in Frisbee competitions and take in some traditional Hawaiian events of skill.
But any time so many people are in one place along with lots of live events, dangerous risks can arise. Slip-and-fall hazards can arise as people spill food and beverages. People can be exposed to frightened dogs who lash out and deliver a painful bite.
Event planners and vendors must take responsibility when you or a family member get hurt in a preventable accident. In some cases, the City of Ventura may also be responsible if a hazard at the beach park causes you to get hurt.
These are just some of the hazards park owners, event planners, and vendors may be responsible for:
- Trip-And-Falls and Slip-And-Falls
- Falling Lights and Other Falling or Collapsing Objects
- Overcrowding Hazards
- Pedestrian Accidents getting to the Festival
- Security Risks at Events and Surrounding Parking Areas
- Contracted Food Borne Illnesses
- Exposure to Chemicals and Other Hazardous Substances
- Exposure to Heat-Related Illnesses
These and other scary hazards can leave you or a family member with serious and even life-threatening injuries. It’s critical that event organizers are forced to accept liability for the hazards they create and support you through recovery. A Ventura County Event Accident Lawyer helps you avoid insurance tactics meant to limit the financial assistance you receive. Quirk Law wants to make sure you receive every benefit available.
What Should I Do After an Accident at a Ventura Festival?
The moments after an accident will be the best time to collect evidence that proves who caused it, but only take action if your injuries allow it.
After the scene is secure, complete these steps, or ask someone with you to collect evidence for you:
- Call 911. Get checked out by paramedics and go to the hospital if necessary.
- If you are out of danger, take pictures of everything at the scene. Show the obstacle that caused your injury before the event staff remove or fix the issue. Take photos of your injuries.
- Get witness contact information so your lawyer can contact them for testimony.
- Alert festival managers or staff about your accident. They may want to fill out an incident report that will serve as valuable evidence for your case.
- Scan the area for the presence of any security cameras and tell your lawyer about them.
- Schedule an appointment with your own doctor. Get any new pain that arises the next day checked out. Follow your doctor’s orders.
Contact a lawyer with Quirk Accident & Injury Lawyers, APC. The sooner your lawyer can get started investigating your case, the easier it will be to preserve fresh evidence and track down witnesses for testimony. Your lawyer can also request surveillance video before it gets erased. It’s all part of building a strong case against the event managers so they can’t avoid taking responsibility for what happened to you.
Compensation Available for Ventura Festival Injury Victims
Victims must seek every bit of support they can, because doctors may not be able to give an accurate estimate of how long recovery will take. Old injuries can also flare up years down the road making surgeries and additional physical therapy necessary.
These and other factors would help determine the size of your accident settlement check:
- Current medical bills and estimates on the cost of care expected to be necessary for the future.
- Lifelong support for permanent disfigurement or disability. This may include long-term support if a victim can’t return to work and no longer has a way to support close family members.
- Pain and suffering. Victims can end up with chronic pain that can greatly affect their lifestyles. Emotional trauma is also part of “pain and suffering” damages. Victims must cope with anxiety and depression stemming from a difficult recovery. The loss of enjoyment should also earn additional compensation.
- Past lost wages and benefits in connection with the attack along with any loss of wages reasonably expected to be suffered in the future.
- Wrongful Death Benefits. When victims are tragically killed in accidents, the families left behind are encouraged to file a wrongful death claim. This claim earns support for close relatives so they can cover funeral costs and pay emergency response fees. Family members, like a spouse or children, earn support as they face a future without the guidance and economic assistance a loved one would have provided.
