Bleacher Accident Overview

Thousands of Americans suffer injuries in bleacher accidents every year. Bleacher accidents can have a number of different causes, including:

  1. Trips or slips and falls, especially if bleacher traction or treads have been worn down or damaged;
  2. Lack of appropriate guardrails, railings or other legally required safety features;
  3. Improper spacing between bleachers and floors, resulting in a large gap for children to fall through; and
  4. Bleacher tip overs or collapses, resulting from unequal weight distribution or seating over capacity.

As building and safety codes change, those in charge of maintaining the bleachers are expected to update their bleachers in accordance with those changes.
