It’s to protect the venue’s profits and the insurance company’s bottom line—even if it means minimizing or denying legitimate injury claims. Without an experienced event injury lawyer like George Bochanis on your side, you’re left vulnerable to lowball offers, delay tactics, or outright denials.

Common Causes of Event Injuries in Las Vegas

Our law firm has decades of experience representing clients who have been injured in various settings in Downtown Las Vegas, on the Strip, and at other event locations in Nevada:

Concert and Festival Injuries

From trampling incidents to stage collapses, to incidents like the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in 2017, concert venues present unique dangers when proper safety measures aren’t in place.

Hotel and Convention Center Accidents

Slip and falls, equipment failures, and overcrowding can lead to serious injuries at Las Vegas hotel and convention centers. In 1980, malfunctioning fire alarms contributed to at least 81 deaths and hundreds of injuries after one of the largest fires in American history broke out at the MGM Grand.

Sporting Event Injuries

Stadium falls, flying equipment, and inadequate crowd control at sporting events can result in severe injuries to spectators and sports fans.

Corporate Event Accidents

Improperly secured equipment, unsafe venue conditions, and negligent event planning can turn corporate gatherings into danger zones.

Case Spotlight: Did Negligent Security Play a Role in the 2017 Shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival?

Negligent security may have played a role in the deadliest casino injury case in U.S. history. On October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, killing 60 people and injuring hundreds more at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. The mass shooting raised serious concerns about casino security policies and whether MGM Resorts, the owner of Mandalay Bay, took appropriate steps to prevent such an attack.

Security Failures Leading Up to the Shooting

Investigations revealed that the gunman was able to transport multiple firearms, including assault rifles and ammunition, into his hotel suite over several days without raising suspicion. Security procedures at the time did not require checking guests’ luggage or monitoring excessive room service requests, allowing him to build an arsenal undetected. Additionally, there were concerns about the casino’s failure to properly respond to reports of gunfire in the early moments of the attack.

Legal Action Against MGM Resorts

Victims and their families filed lawsuits against MGM Resorts, alleging that the company failed to implement adequate security measures that could have prevented or mitigated the attack. The lawsuits argued that Mandalay Bay should have had:

  • Enhanced security screening, particularly for high-floor guests
  • Increased surveillance of suspicious activity
  • More proactive responses to reports of gunfire and disturbances

In response, MGM Resorts reached an $800 million settlement with victims and their families, acknowledging the impact of the tragedy.

Implications for Casino Security Policies

The shooting led to widespread changes in hotel and casino security protocols. Many Las Vegas casinos have since implemented increased bag checks, surveillance upgrades, and enhanced security training for staff. However, questions remain about whether casinos are doing enough to prevent future security breaches.

Compensation Available for Event Injury Victims

Substantial compensation may be available to people who suffer injuries at Las Vegas events. Your recovery will depend on how severely you were injured, the medical care you’ll likely require in the future, whether you are expected to be able to return to work, and the sources of recovery available.

As your event injury lawyer, George will fight to secure compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
Top Reasons to File an Event Injury Lawsuit
  1. Medical Bills Are Mounting: Severe event injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
  2. Lost Income: Your injuries may prevent you from working, both temporarily and long-term.
  3. Negligence Caused Your Injury: When event organizers, venue owners, or other parties fail to maintain a safe environment, they should be held accountable.
  4. Insurance Companies Offer Inadequate Settlements: Initial settlement offers rarely cover the full extent of your damages.
  5. Long-Term Effects: Some event injuries result in permanent disabilities that affect your quality of life and future earning potential.

Don’t face the aftermath of an injury alone. Experienced accident lawyer George Bochanis will fight to secure the compensation you deserve while you focus on your wellbeing and your recovery.

The Importance of Acting Quickly After an Event Injury

Nevada law limits the time you have to file a personal injury claim. Additionally, evidence can disappear quickly after event accidents, and witness memories fade. Contact our Las Vegas event injury attorneys immediately to protect your legal rights and preserve crucial evidence.
