My 16 year old grandson recently attended a rock concert and was picked up and surfed accross a wave of people resulting in him being thrown against the stage and breaking his ankle so severely that an ambulance was called. He is having surgery to have two plates put on both sides of his ankle which may result in permanent disabling problems in the future to come. The back of his purchased ticket into the concert there is a disclaimer. Does that disclaimer hold strong in court from getting medical bills paid and such?
Answer 1 :
I think it would depend at least somewhat on the law of the state involved. Also, it appears that your grandson may have accepted some of the risk of his injury -- in my experience, a good many concertgoers enjoy such surfing and, in agreeing to go for the ride, accept the risk of being dropped or otherwise tossed about in a way that they didn't necessarily expect.
Answer 2 :
Yes, it would hold up. Attending the concert means you agree to the stipulations on the back of the ticket.
Answer 3 :
That would be decided by the courts, not by Yahoo!Answers. It sounds to me as if you should see a lawyer specializing in this kind of thing.
Yes the ticket is a contract that the purchaser accepts in entering the concert venue...and since the act of audience carrying is forseeable..your grandson was on notice that it could happen to him...it is unlikely you could win...contact an attorney in your area for further advice.
