Temporary Structure Injuries
When a special event takes place at a venue that is not normally used for such purposes, event planners may take advantage of temporary structures to help make the area more suitable for the event. Persons throwing an outdoor event, for example, may set up tents to give visitors and guests shelter from the elements. Festivals, weddings, outdoor sales, music showcases, and other events all commonly take advantage of temporary edifices when necessary.
The problem with such constructs is that they are temporary and may not be as sturdy as permanent constructions. If a person is injured due to a temporary structure collapse or other accident, he or she may be able to hold the event planner or property owner responsible for injuries suffered and other damages. If you have been injured in a temporary structure accident on someone else’s property, contact the Madison premises liability lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 1-800-242-2874 today.
Commonly Used Temporary Structures
Temporary structures that may be present at events often include:
- Tents
- Gazebos
- Stages
- Platforms
- Arches
- Ramps
- Staircases
If a temporary construction piece is incorrectly installed or is defective, persons standing on or near it may suffer injury in the event of a collapse. It is the responsibility of property owners, managers, and event planners to check the safety and security of such constructs to make sure their guests and patrons are safe from harm.
