Beer Garden Injury
Helping People Who Have Been Hurt in a Beer Garden
As outdoor, open-air establishments, beer gardens have grown in popularity during the global COVID-19 pandemic. These establishments are particularly hot spots in October, when Oktoberfest, the annual German festival, kicks off. In addition to specialty beers, these venues usually offer food, shade, music, and outdoor benches.
Beer gardens can be crowded with patrons during peak hours. In an outdoor, beer garden environment, the combination of alcohol and large numbers of people can lead to serious accidents and injuries. If you have been hurt in a beer garden through someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to file a claim for compensation.
What Types of Injuries Occur in Beer Gardens?
People visiting beer gardens can be injured in several different ways. When large numbers of people consuming alcohol come together, accidents can happen. Examples of beer garden injuries include:
Slip or trip and fall accidents caused by hazardous conditions on the property
Explosion of an outdoor stove, causing serious burns to beer garden guests
Motor vehicles crashes caused by intoxicated drivers leaving beer gardens
Intoxicated dancers falling on other patrons
Brawls that erupt among guests who are over-served alcohol
A vehicle smashing into a beer garden, injuring guests
Who Can Be Held Responsible When Guests Are Injured at a Beer Garden?
When a person is injured at a beer garden, determining liability can be a complicated process.
If the beer garden is a permanent bar or restaurant, the owner may be responsible for injuries that occur because of hazards existing on the property, or for negligent security.
If the beer garden is in a temporarily rented or public arena, the property owner or party responsible for maintaining the property may be liable.
In the case of defective equipment, such as an exploding outdoor stove, the equipment manufacturer may be held accountable in a product liability claim.
A driver who crashes into a beer garden may be liable for resulting injuries to guests.
The beer garden establishment may be liable under Arizona dram shop laws if an intoxicated guest causes injury to others in a motor vehicle or other type of accident. An establishment that serves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person may be legally responsible for damage caused by that person.
