Nationwide Arena District Personal Injury Attorney
Nationwide Arena, and its surrounding Arena District, located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, serve as a hub for sports, entertainment, and community events. As a bustling venue, attracting crowds from near and far, the Arena District is a source of pride for the community. As a center of crowds and other activity, however, it is essential to recognize and address risks which accompany such an environment. Doing so will help minimize hazards, and resulting injuries, which could occur in and around the Arena District.
Sometimes, however, proper steps are not taken, and injuries occur. The law office of Brian G. Miller Co., L.P.A. is experienced with all types of injury claims, including those outlined below. While our primary goal is to promote a safe and vibrant community, we also acknowledge our role in assisting people who have fallen victim to injuries when safe environments are not promoted and maintained. If you find yourself in a position of needing assistance due to an injury sustained due to the fault of another, our firm stands ready to discuss the circumstances and help you recover.
Common Injuries in and Around The Arena District
Traffic Accidents: The high traffic volume around Nationwide Arena during events increases the risk of traffic accidents, including pedestrian and vehicle collisions. Factors such as failing to yield, speeding, and impaired driving contribute to these incidents. It is imperative that drivers use extra caution during these circumstances and that they avoid distracted driving.
Pedestrian Injuries: Unfortunately, as noted above, sometimes people walking in high-traffic areas are those most susceptible to serious injury. Failure to yield at a crosswalk, drunk driving, or simple carelessness and inattention can significantly injure unprotected pedestrians. Traffic, crowding, and other circumstances before and after Blue Jackets games contribute to pedestrian risk.
Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall incidents can occur within and outside of establishments within the Arena District. Failure to properly maintain aspects of a business’s building or property, and failure to repair or properly warn about hazards, create risks which could lead to injuries and could form the basis of a legal claim. Common injuries such as fractures, sprains, and even concussions can be avoided by maintaining areas in a reasonably safe condition. Attention also needs to be paid to responsible alcohol sales and consumption.
