Injured At A Music Festival

Preserve Your Photos, Videos, and Ticket

Anything you recorded during the festival could become critical evidence. Keep photos or videos that show:

• The size of the crowd

• Security (or lack thereof)

• Injuries

• Bottlenecks or exits being blocked

• proof of purchase—ticket stubs, confirmation emails, even wristbands.

Report the Injury to Event Staff or Security

• Make sure you report the injury to a responsible party at the venue—whether it’s security, event staff, or a medic. Request that they file an official report, and ask for a copy if possible. This creates a paper trail that connects your injury to the event and shows you took immediate action.

Get Witness Phone Numbers

• Were there people around you who saw what happened? Maybe they helped you, or maybe they were injured too. Collect their contact info. This could strengthen your case if it turns into a legal claim.

Write Down Everything You Remember

As soon as possible, grab your phone or a notebook and start writing down every detail:

• Where exactly you were when it happened

• What time it was

• How you got hurt

• What security or staff were doing (or not doing)

• How long it took to get help

• The more detail you have, the more powerful your case becomes.

See a Doctor—Even if You Think It’s Minor

Adrenaline can hide symptoms. You might feel fine now but experience serious pain later. Visit your primary care physician or urgent care and get checked out. Medical documentation is vital—not just for your health, but for your claim.
