What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was at this metal show and these people start moshing. Than they started throwing wild haymakers/punches and kicks, and a couple of the guys were even striking into the crowd and they just did it carelessly,they knew they were bound to hit someone,and if they did they didn't care.
One of the guys punched me in the face,bruised my nose pretty good,and chipped my teeth a little,I had a huge nose bleed. the staff was helping a little. I now will attempt to fix and pay for my teeth to get fixed at the dentist.
When this happened,I was facing towards the band and I was not in the pit,I was in the rear end of the crowd and it was a sucker punch that almost knocked me out but I was still standing and i felt it perfectly.
He almost hit one of my friends(who is a girl),and before that she got hit by him on the head but not as hard.
When the staff was asking who did it,my friend gave the details and once the staff got a hold of him they didn't do anything to him but give him a warning.
It was an obvious assault. I did not sign any waiver saying I could have been seriously hurt or any warnings of it.
I did not hit him or anything because than I know i'd most likely get arrested,and also because I wanted to do what was right and wanted justice.
I'm trying to do something about this so in the future other people will not get hurt and that this is so unfair.
And I am also concerned that they did not even have a metal detector,only checking bags,if someone wanted to they could have brought a knife and attacked the musicians and crowd.
I called 311 the day after and told the cop what happen with the assaulter that hit me,and I even knew the assaulter's name and gave it to him because I knew his brother.
And what the cop was telling me was that if the case came through they'd call me,but he was pretty much telling me, at a metal concert where theirs a mosh pit,you can pretty much get away with an assault just fine. I found it outrageous that I did not sign any waiver or see any warnings of this,as than this would have never happened and I would have been extremely more cautious.
I'm seeing if I can raise a suit in a county court for damages against your assailant and against the venu for not doing enough to ensure the audience safety.
