Writing these types of venues can be extremely difficult. In addition to the A&B exposure, you have a significant slip & fall and liquor exposure as well.
The rate you would need to get for this type of risk would have to be huge.
I’m pretty sure that if I was sitting in a seat at a football game, minding my own business, watching the game & someone threw me to the ground, I would have made damn sure that person was leaving the stadium in handcuffs NOT sue the stadium almost a year later. Bogus lawsuits need to be stopped!
Where’s Paul Harvey when you need him? Unfortunately, like most provocative stories in IJ, there’s not enough information to really comment one way or the other. Was the woman really “minding her own business”? Were words exchanged before the melee? Can’t tell from the information given.
This would never happen at a Giants game. This is typical of Jets or Eagles games. She was probably wearing a “threatening” Patriots jersey and some drunk jerk could not leave her alone. When are they going to stop serving alcohol at Jets games?
And yet the Jets were not sued but the Giants were? I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see how the Giants could be a defendent. It was a Jets game. The NJSEA runs the stadium and hires the security. Are the Giants being sued because their name is on the stadium? Does that mean that Citi is a potential defendent if anything happens at a Mets game?
Sounds like she should sue whomever threw to the ground. Of course the team and stadium owners have the money. It doesn’t really matter who is to blame here all that matters is who has the deep pockets to pay her. If I got thrown down to the ground I would sue the person who did it and not the owner of the property I happened to be standing on. What’s wrong with you people who can’t see there is something wrong with this story.
ok, during a regular game, like a baseball game if you get hit by a line driver – you take on these consequences of a game. if you got thrown down and hurt your spine, then the individual that did this should be held responsible. the stadium can’t control a crowd of this nature, even if you notified security. they should have stepped in after the fall and taken that individual into custody and then you could have sued him for the injury. i think that the lawyer is trying to find to many hands to get more and more money, in his pockets and not truly resolving the issue correctly.
