Planning on heading to Summerfest this year? … What should you do if you’re injured at Summerfest?
Summerfest is one of Milwaukee’s biggest attractions, drawing thousands of music fans every year. But accidents can happen in crowded public spaces — from slip-and-falls to equipment-related injuries. So what should you do if you get injured at Summerfest?
The short answer: report it immediately and document everything.
After an injury, tell a staff member or Summerfest security what happened. Request an incident report. Then, take photos of your injury and the area where it happened. Get the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.
Why is this important? Because if you’re injured at Summerfest, you may have a premises liability case — and documentation helps protect your rights.
Don’t downplay your injury. Some symptoms, like concussions or soft tissue damage, may not show up immediately. It’s important to take your health seriously and get checked out by a medical professional. Medical records also serve as crucial evidence if you decide to pursue a claim.
